Re: Ugh.....why does Disco hate me?

Discover is very generous with credit line increases. I also have seen CITI to be as well. BEWARE of hard pulls with CITI.

Re: Ugh.....why does Disco hate me?

While Discover doesn't (so far) dole out large CLI's to me, they've also been pretty reliable with them - I've gotten my newer card (obtained last March) boosted from $5,000 to $6,500 in $500 increments every quarter so far, most recently last week; I typically check after every 3rd statement, so my next check will come in April. My older card is about the same, except that for some reason the CLI's on that one are in $300 increments.

Re: Ugh.....why does Disco hate me?

The last time I have ever gotten a CLI from Discover was May last year which was an auto increase. Haven't had anything since. I've just accepted that I am not in their niche market so, I just let it ride until they see fit to evaluate me for a new increase, maybe I will get lucky this May. I stopped asking them at this point. Figured if they want to give me they would eventually. Hang in there.

Have you tried for a CLI this year at all? Its been 9+ months or so.. Might need to poke them again... Id go for a hit of the CLI button... Not wait completely for time to go by....

OP you aren't alone. I got my secured discover on december 2017, it was unsecured and got a CLI from $500 to $1750 last August. Since then no more love for me so I just stopped asking.

Hi @joltdude the last request I made was in December 2018, but did not get approved, When they increased my limit last year, I took a BT offer which I completed paying in Oct. 2018, but despite all the business, my income I guess is the stumbling block for getting more than what I currently have qualified for. So, I just moved on and concentrated on growing my other cards. Even Comenity surpassed my current Disco CL.
