Omg, I cant believe Disco isnt butter
Wow, CC, I truly am sorry that's insane. Good thinking on getting it declined while on phone. Normally I'd say 1k can be great for someone starting out but you are established as is your profile.
Discover is weird where many of us get hit with AJC cli specials while others get offered 12k increases, boggles the mind how it gets decided. Truly a magic 8ball

Im going from memory here. but hitting 30k and higher. So this is a very YMMV.... What happened to the MFicoer was they were required to verify employment.... Discover asked to call their employer... in their case, since they were self employed.. He picked up the phone.. and basically he got the CLI above 30k... Do not recall them requiring an IRS form, nor paystubs... but in general I haven't heard of Discover asking for the IRS form... Might require more POI but that was how it rolled with the MyFico'er...

Feel like I'm in the former with Discover. Hopefully I'll be in the latter with nfcu.
I was kinda expecting a possible 5K approval but that was totally a wild .... guess...
Got to wait before you reallocate... but I think youve seen that in this thread...
Plus one account has to be eligible for a CLI, and the "new" card has to be at least 3 months old......
As an aside before you combine it, also remember that youll likely have the "double cashback" offer on the new card.. but to take advantage of it, you need to keep it for a year.....Perhaps keep it around, rinse and repeat, and you might even get some CLI growth on the new line...
Edit: didnt see your reference to basically shifting to the new card... For some reason i thought you were doing it the other way. Actually will work better.. still have to wait the 3mo and for a CLI offer......
And the Pizza1 thread on it...

As an aside.. you usually can get the eligible CLI in addition to the combination.. but as always YMMV

1st Discover (~1.5 yrs): SL ~$17k
CLI (SP): $4k, $5k, $6k
2nd Discover: SL $3k

I had a slight hope of getting around a HP with the pre-approval but no such luck. I'm planning to reallocate part of the 1st to the 2nd.

Congrats, Adkins!
Not to derail the convo, but on topic of Disco and HP...my husband got IT in November with a soft pull. Five days ago, a HP shows up on EQ dated 11/28/17. Add HP to taxes and death in the *unavoidable* category.
How rude! The HP showed up right away. I actually don't mind it because I got a card out of it! And thanks for the congratulations!
