Discover CLI Question

I am interested in requesting a CLI from Discover. I recently paid down a non discover account balance and am waiting for it to update with the bureaus with the anticipated score increase.  My question is once the new account balance is listed on Transunion and request a CLI will the Discover SP use the updated information or thirty days old score?

Re: Discover CLI Question

They will use the scores and reports from their monthly TU pull. Look on your app/website and see which date they pulled it from, it will be the same every month. As soon as they update it with the report that shows the score increase since paying down your balance, you're good to pull the trigger. Your updated report will display on their app/website 5 days after the report is pulled from TU. Good luck on your CLI!

Re: Discover CLI Question

@Ficoproblems247  Thank you. I didn't know they use TU for CLI. I never was successful with Discover CLI requests... Is it true that you have to wait till your account is one year old to be eligible for CLI? 

 

@Anonymous good luck!

@Anonymous, it appears you inadvertently tagged a member that hasn't posted since 2010 using the mention feature.  

 

Also, your Discover CLI results were pre-pandemic.  Discover tightened the CLI reins for newly established accounts since last year.

The 1 year requirement is something we all hope they do away with. When you speak to a CSR they will even confirm to you that it is policy that rolled out in early 2020. Disco is an odd duck in that the methodology they use to calculate a favorable outcome to a CLI for one person may be completely different than another. Some people have used their cards heavily, and then been given an auto-CLI after they sock drawered their cards for a few months. My last couple of attempts have come back with the response "Low usage of current Discover credit line in current or previous month(s)." meaning they need me to put more spend on it before they throw me another bone. I've started to see way more Disco CLI approval posts roll through lately, so maybe that's a good sign that they're loosening up again?

Re: Discover CLI Question

I dont agree that Discover has tighten the CLI requests, I received one about 4 months ago. Since I burned them a while back, I feel they are watching me and gave me a start CL. Im now at $7.5k and it seems I am getting the denial for not enough experience with current CL for a CLI. I will keep trying every 6 months or so, and yes use they use the credit from the month they pulled it and a consumer is able to view it.

Re: Discover CLI Question

So Discover uses EX(at least for me) for original HP on new cards and uses TU8 for CLI's?

Have 12 statements posted on that account? Discover won't give increase on new accounts less than 12 months.
