Re: Whats your Discover card credit limit?

You can use Disco all day long and doesnt mean youll be Michael Jordan with the 50k limits lol. plenty of people use it, pun intended Smiley Wink, and cant get a cli for the life of them while others put minimum spend and get 6k+ increases at ease. Toss of the dice on where one will fall.

AMEX: $25,000, CSR: $10,000, Chase Priority Club: $1,500, Freedom: $5000, Freedom Unlimited: $1000, Discover: $21,000, BoA $11,000, WF Cash Wise: $5000

Re: Whats your Discover card credit limit?

Discover was my first CC, which I opened 4 months back with no credit history whatsoever (international student). SL was 750 but has doubled to 1500 since.

Re: Whats your Discover card credit limit?

Man, I must be doing something wrong with Discover. SL was 1,200, got one decent CLI to 2K and then started requesting a CLI every month. Have only gotten two CLI for 300 bucks each in the past 8 months. Current limit after a full year of having the card is only 2,600 and I'm running at least 1K through the card every month. TU score of 765.

Re: Whats your Discover card credit limit?

I’ve been stuck at $12,000 for 7 months now I think? Last credit score from Disco was a 758 on the 17th. Routinely run $200-300 through the card a month and PIF.

Started at $600 secured July 2017 and now its almost 13x after a couple auto-CLI's and a few SP CLI's. Disco is unique in my wallet because my highest util has been all of ~5%...


You opened that account in July or it graduated in July?  Amazing!

It's not you, it's them.  Their computer just shakes the Magic 8 Ball to make a random decision when it comes to SLs and CLIs.  Contrast your experience with the person with a 665 TU score that gets a $10,000 SL, or the person who uses it for utilization padding and never uses the card but gets huge CLIs every 31 or 61 days.

Here's hoping this month is the month they finally give me a significant bump, because now that I don't get 2% back on every purchase, this card will only be used for 5% categories unless they give me a higher limit to play with. And I'd actually like to keep using the card, they have excellent customer service.
