As far as low credt limits with Discover, they do seem to be more conservative than some of the other major banks. My limit with them is about $16,000, so YMMV. My lowest limit by far is PenFed.
What was your initial credit limit with Discover? They started me off with 10k, so I'm wondering what kind of CLI I will get after I request it.

Called them today. Agent reviewed my account, asked the standard questions; income, mortgage payment, time on the job. He said my payment history looks great worth all my creditors and it is exceptional with discover. Apologized and reinstated my limit in full. Whew!
Very glad to hear they were reasonable about it. Then again they are Discover and they tend to do their best to please good card holders. I was actually expecting you to post something along that line considering the info you posted.
