Discover CLI+missing reward

bigbang91 — Sat, 31 Jan 2015 03:46:02 GMT

Hi guys, i wll be eligible to ask for a CLI next week, my question is should i pay off the balance before asking or just leave it as is. My limit 2k,balance 1455,uti 19% mainly on 2 cards out of 11.

Also, anyone has your reward missing. They did not reward me points correctly,call about it 3 times, all said it will be corrected/they manual corrected it/it will appear after 2 billing cycle..yet,its been 9 weeks and i still havent seen the correct amount. I'm really dont want to place another call and to talk about it all over again.

I don't know about the CLI, but my father has a Discover card. Although I don't know the details, he has mentioned a few times that they ripped him off for his rewards.

Anyone know how to escalate this?Im tempted to close the account soon because of this

If I were you, I would call in and demand a manager right away. Tell him you have called multiple times for this concern and request a resolution immediately.

Discover will most likely SP, and if the case, they may already have enough info on you to decide a new CL without looking at your util across the boards. They'll most likely look more internally at your account (balance, history, etc) and decide the CLI that way. I would pay it down a bit before hitting the button. just my two bits.

Pay it down before asking for a CLI.

It will give you better leverage. You can tell them how you used 80% of your available CL but didn't like doing so because it puts you so close to being maxed out.

A highter CL is needed to continue to use the card at such a high rate in order to feel comfortable in doing so.

It's alot easier to put $2k on a $5k+ card than it is a $2.5 card.

I'm gun shy as hell after I got CLD'd when I used 35% of my Discover and 3 Chase cards. (CSP, Freedom, Slate)
