Credit card Cash advance is not suggested. For many reasons... There not making $$ on transactions on purchases if your using cash etc..

They put me on the phone with a credit anylyst and the reason for denial was that I had used it for cash advances a few times (of course I paid them as soon as it showed up on my account ) . Considering what they charge to do cash advances you would think they would love for you to do them especially when you pay them back instantly . Apperantly it throws up red flags to them , so in the sock drawer it goes !
LOL, absurd, my father used to run his business on CCs, taking the full limit as BT or cash advances and on all his cards, his outstanding debts on CCs could be 80-150K at any one time while waiting to be paid for a job, this was in the mid 80s to his death in the early 90s, he could never run that business in todays enviornment, he would tell any CC company that pulled these shenanigans to go to you know where and I would as well. SD them and forget them. I would also be writing a letter to the CEO telling them how outrageous their operations are.

Sorry fans but i must agree with many others, Discover Card SUX big time 
I been given the same old song and dance routine from them every time i call for a CLI. Had mine since August if that's any indicator, but moreover, unless they start to show some positive return results other than their limited 5% category mumbo jumbo (even my BofA 321 blows them out of the water), it's a depressing lender in my eyes almost as bad as CapitalOne. In fact CapitalOne might just be better.
OP is not just whistling dixie.

I went from a $2k limit to a $9k limit with 2 SP and 1 HP in a span of 1 month. It's not the card or the company, it's the user. But I am curious how your BoA card blows Discover out of the water.

Quite simple. The Credit Limit period. In my case, like some others, not everyone of course, while Discover keeps dragging it's feet and spewing out denial after denial for even a little CLI without a precious HP, even my so-called subbrand store cards have accelerated their CLI's far in advance of what Discover's limit is stalled out at. So it's turned into the perfect SD card now. BTW, i always PIF and once carried a balance but still no joy 
Others have better results of course but no matter, i have prime cards + store cards with starting limits at or in excess of 5K so i'm just as satisfied where it stands if they are
