Re: Discover 2nd card no prequal offer

You could try for a perm APR now and app for another discover card closer to when the other 0% offer expires. Or even in a month or so if you wanted... Esp if they offer you the 14 month or more 0% on the new card... 

Could app now ....

Still should be long enough for you to be probably be eligible for a 0% offer in january on the original card... its about 6 months between asking...

 

You got options...

Checked this morning and Disco apparently wants to give me a second card. Miles and It, 20.24%, 0% for 14. 

 

I would probably end up getting a $500 limit though which would be pointless for a 0% card so I am going to pass. I have a $12,700 card with $18K income, I would say I have a pretty good chance of a low limit. 

 

The APR is 2% less than what my current one is going to at the end of this month though and it’s nice to be wanted so there’s that! 🤣 


Why not ask for an APR reduction instead?


Well I plan to do that too but I’m holding off until I have use for a 0% financing offer. I would rather have 0% for 12 months come January when my BBVA 0% ends than have a permanent APR reduction which is kind of moot next to my NFCU Platinum and it’s 8.24% with the same $12,700 limit. 

 

I was just remarking that the APR is lower, it’s not really of any consequence to me but my theory is that lower APR would have a better chance of a usable SL even with my current exposure since lower APRs generally mean they find you less risky.

 

3% with my spend would likely only amount to an extra $100 for the match though, possibly even less since I do so much spending on Amazon, so I will keep the fact they will give me another card in my back pocket but look for other card options that have $100 or better SUB available.

Re: Discover 2nd card no prequal offer

I asked Discover about combination of cards/ limits. She said:
1. You have to have a credit limit increase available on one of the cards enough to accommodate both limits. (Not sure if that means if the CLI available is not sufficient you can't combine them).
2. You don't need to have a $0 balance on either card.
3. If there is a promotional APR on the receiving card, you won't lose it.

Sounds great!

Re: Discover 2nd card no prequal offer

Hey, guys, I would like your advice please. My It card is over a year old. I wanted to see if I prequalified for a 2nd card. I keep getting a website error or lately I am sent to the login page with a message that my info does not match and to please log in. Of course, if I log in, there is no where to even apply for a card. I'm too timid to apply directly at the moment. Has anyone had this problem ?

Re: Discover 2nd card no prequal offer

Now that I actually want to merge the two cards in can't get a CLI to save my life, lol!
I'm wondering if my second card being at 12% utilization is stopping both of my cards from getting a CLI. Card #1 at 1% utilization....

Re: Discover 2nd card no prequal offer

It turns out I just needed to clear my cookies. I didn't get any offers but my EX is 663. Is that good enough to get another card ?

Re: Discover 2nd card no prequal offer

Well, I was denied for a 2nd card. The only reason given was my 3 1/2 year old bankruptcy, which is weird because it was on my report when I got my 1st Discover card.
