No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Does anyone know from personal experience if requesting a credit limit increase on Discover's website will affect your credit score / require a hard pull? The credit limit increase page on their site actually says two contradictory things right next to each other. First it says "This request may also require us to pull a credit bureau report, which may affect your credit score." Then only two sentences later it says "This request will not affect your credit score."
Any idea which one is correct?
Here's a screenshot of the page in question.

You can go ahead and fill out the form. Just put in the amount you want your card to be increased by and fill out your employment status and click continue. Discover will either give you the amount you requested or will counter. If this happens then it will be a sp. The good thing about Discover is that it will let you know that your request will require further review (hp) and you have the option to accept or cancel the request.
If it gives you the will require further review message, you can try to request a lower amount and see if it will go through again. Just be careful because after requesting 2 times (for me it happened) the system locks itself and gives a pending message.
YMMV as always. Good luck.
I always call in and request CLI .....
wow ive never made it to that form and i've been trying for a year lol. it always says its unavailable almost immediately when i click the link. finally decided it might be worth it to just call in but i cant decide if i want to PC first or if i should just apply for the new IT card altogether (currently have the More card) so im holding off til i figure it out.
good luck !!
