LOL sorry about my wording
Absolutely right on the wallpaper.
I'm not sure AJC has me beat... I'm at about 70 sheets currently, which may make me the Undisputed Wallpaper Champion of the forum at the moment. If AJC or anyone else has more, please do tell!
I really do want to lay them all out on the floor and get a pic one of these days just for S&Gs. Maybe when I hit 100 that'll be a good time to make it happen.
They send a letter when you decline a CLI? What does it say?
we’re writing to let you know you declined a CLI just in case you were not aware what you did?
Cap1 at least let’s you just close the pop up window if you don’t want the $100 CLI. No letter.

Banks don't send out adverse action letters just because they like wasting money. U.S. Federal law - specifically the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act - requires lenders to notify applicants in writing within 30 days in event of adverse action. Banks have interpreted the "in writing" requirement to mean a letter sent by U.S. Mail although some lenders like American Express also send out notices online via a PDF file. And even then they make you jump through hoops to prove that you have access to an Acrobat Reader and can access notices sent in the PDF format. But since not everyone has online access, and certainly not everyone knows how to access and download PDF files, lenders continue to send notices via U.S. Mail.
Further, sending Notices of Adverse Action by U.S. Mail provides defense to the lenders against claims that they are not complying with the law. See Archer-Gift v Citigroup, Inc. for an example.
1. Mailing and Receipt of Letters
"With respect to Archer's receipt of the letters, defendants are entitled to a presumption that the letters were received. The declarations from two different employees at Citigroup, the party who sent the letters, confirm that the letters were mailed to Archer at her home address by first class U.S. mail, postage prepaid. The declarants indicate this is based on personal knowledge and/or review of the relevant business records. This is sufficient evidence of proper and timely mailing.
Archer has not rebutted the presumption of receipt by mailing. Specifically, she offers only a declaration stating that she did not receive either letter in the mail. This bald statement falls short of proving the letters never arrived, and does not explain how or why the letters did not reach Archer when mailed to her address. Notably, Archer has acknowledged receipt of a letter pertaining to the Home Depot card that was sent to her by Citigroup via the same mailing system."

I know *sigh* lol. I was just feeling whiny. And it does seem strange that Disco sends a letter to let you know that YOU turned down a CLI.

What I hadn't realized is that every time I decline the offer it generates a letter LOL. So in the last 2 weeks let's just say my mailbox was full of disco letters
How often have you been trying?
In the interest of being FSR... Are you trying daily? weekly? monthly? Every three months, Every 6 months?
Iv read your post and you arent letting any TIME pass ... Credit is a marathon, not a sprint... You seem to be in a hurry....
Stop
If your playing the every few days game... Just stop...
At the VERY least you should wait for discover to pull your scores *again* for your FICO score in your account....
The more I read your posts the more you sound like your rushing/pushing not letting any time go by...
Yes Miss Disco is very ditzy and unpredictable but c'mon.. Your data isnt changing daily..
Seriously you look desprate and if it was a manual process.. your exibiting extreme credit-seeking behavior...
And your killing trees for no self-gain
-J
Normally I wait every 30 days for updated scores then try for CLI. It was just this last time When they offered a 500 increase I thought I would see if I declined if it would offer more, just testing a theory and didn't realize they would sent a darn letter for the declines, for the record I tried twice to see if it changed as my FICO had updated. I made the joke about wallpaper because it's a running joke. Desperate not really lol, just thought I would see if it went higher. I have already come to conclusion that disco is ditzy as hell and will not be one of my bigger lines and I am ok with it. personally I think it's ridiculous to send a letter when THE CUSTOMER declines the increase.

"This is a letter to confirm that we have withdrawn your Discover card credit line increase request per your request."
