I just got a call from a a strange 800 number so I quickly went to Google and discovered it was from Discover. The person, I assume a credit analyst, on the other end said they saw their system had declined me for a cli last month and they wanted to ask some questions to see if I could be granted the increase I requested. He asked about some paid charge offs on my report and about a collection from Bally's. I answered honestly. He then asked how much of an increase I wanted and I experienced an unusal occurence of not knowing what to say. He said $2500 and I said sure. My previous limit was $1300 where its been since 2004!

I've only had one "live person" interaction with them (when I activated my card), and the rep was very nice/friendly.
I hope they call me cause I was denied for a CLI. Their system could not pull my report because it was frozen. I called just to see if I could get a small increase using a SP

Garrrh! Now I'm bummed! I too got a call from one of the Disco 800#s ealier today, but couldn't answer it because I was on the other line @ work. They didn't leave a voicemail. I googled the # and found out it was Disco, So I called 1800DISCOVER to see what was up. They didn't know.
I also was decliend about a month ago for a CLI, so I'd guess that's what this call was about. Miffed I missed it, and hope they call back.
Now, back to work.
