If you can forgo the $150 after $750 or really need a balance transfer keep a keen eye to your mailbox. 15 Months on purchases and balance transfers and for the first time I've seen, 1% intro BT fee.  Like a slate (well, almost) but with much better rewards. 


I'd reapply if they would give me that APR of 10.99%


+1

me too... and might get a better limit as well...LOL


Did you burn Discover in the past or something? Smiley Very Happy


Not really......but a perfectly clean record for 27 years  which is toooo suspicious for  Discover.?? ....I recently ordered my round of reports from ARS, IDA and Innovis. IDA was a big surprise for me as no other entries than Discover....ARS with logs of IP and email and it looks they do not delete entries after 2 years as I have a strange entry from US Bank for a "possible fraudulent app" from 2011...well I never applied with US Bank and to have ARS remove this entry is too much hassle for me and I will simply freeze these 3 reports. So who knows if Discover pulls IDA or ARS for their account reviews as I have no AR (soft pulls) on TU, EQ, or EX ...once frozen they will have to pull any of the 3 big ones..LOL


Hmmm, that is very odd, have you tried an HP for CLI with them yet?

No need to re-apply just for APRD, can request one from time to time until obtain the lowest APR available.

IIRC, initially approved at 12.24 but requested APRD last year and the regular purchase APR was lowered to 10.99 (with clean reports, 770s, low UTI, thick file.)


Discover apparently realises that I can handle an APR of 19.99 and therefore hasn't seen fit to reduce it. Similarly, they realise that someone like me shoudln't settle for getting a CLI via the SP route, and so they always insist on doing an HP.

 

I'm sure its all for my benefit...

You're lucky, they won't even give me a card.  (Apparently insisting that I apply first.  Where's the fun in that).

Come to think of it, This saturday is the 1st anniversary of my Discover It card. Maybe it is about time for a lower APR. I'm sure they will ignore the 5 credit cards i've obtained after getting their card.

Re: New Targeted Discover IT Promo

I used the check my personalized offers and got the 0% for 15 months and 0% on balance transfers for 15 months ( 3% fee) and 10.99 APR after. Didn't say it was on a scale they just said 10.99  This is my first card with them and I received my highest limit yet - 4,500.

Amex Blue Sky - $8,700
Discover IT - $4,500
Amex TrueEarnings - 3,500
Elan Financial - $2,000
CapitalOne - $1,250
Chase Slate - $1,200

LOL....I like the way you look at it....may I join you?  Once my  promo APR is over  next month I will see what will happen to a request for APRD....so far the same experience as you with Discover.  HP with explanation account is still too new..well 14 months too new for a CLI of even a small amount....Discover come on!  I will now send a SM and ask for APR reduction and curious what result I will get. Pretty much expect a decline as with CLI. IDA is frozen and now  I hope to finally see a SP on any CRA Smiley Wink

Great....somehow it looks to me that Discover wants to be highest and if they cannot beat the competitors they make sure to get the customers attention for being lowest...LOL
