Can Discover accounts be combined?

Yes but...

Supposedly... the account recieving the combined amount has to be eligible for a CLI.....

I started with 6K SL about 7 months ago. Never got a CLI after 3-4 months opening account probably because I usually only use it for category spend, but I’m sure they must be aware that most people use it mostly for that reason. That’s why I think people have great success getting promotional 0% BT when asking CSRs. They get a good portion of money through BT fees and people not paying off in time. I did a small BT of about 2.5k and I paid it off. I have since received 1.5K 3 months in a row bringing me up to 10.5K. I will try again after statement close this month. Also I usually let $100 or so report then pay in full.

Lol, wow my post was way to prophetic or maybe i jinxed myself . Yes i shredded the first check, second check hasnt come in yet though i need to be careful, i do have another rejection letter coming too. I haven't smashed in 2 days as even Hulk gets tired of the lonely lonely.

Today I received another "we don't love you enough to increase your credit line" letter (I tried again last week) along with a box that contained my second Discover card.

Been 6 months since mine another statement and FICO update > 800 TU just happened.. I am so over them stuck at 11,250 dollars.  Will just use them for 5% cats when convenient and not give them a ounce of other charges.  Obviously they know I am a transactor vs. carry balance type of person with ample other credit thus don't see squat from them.  Tempted to take a HP for a decent increase, but i know it would come back at something like 500 and I would blow my top .  I think what aggravates me although it shouldnt is people with "fair" scores and incomes considerably less have way higher limits and keep getting CLI's.  I should know now not to compare myself or profile to others as it is impossible and each lender looks for certain things, but still hard not to keep my blood from boiling.  I feel dirty each time I am denied for a CLI for "not enough time at current limit" which IMO is just a generic excuse as they can't think of anything else
