2 Discover CLI was Student card

After a long road with Discover finally they gave 2 CLI in less than 60 days. So there is hope for those that start as Discover Student.

 

February 2014 started as Student with $500, graduation date May 2015

May 2015 auto-CLI to $3,000

June 2016 SP CLI to $4,500

August 2016 2 day review to $6,000 the next day

 

The card details didn't show "Request Increase" until July 2016. Asked for CLI at least every month, everytime they ask for HP canceled the request. Still at $0 cash advance (will never use that anyway).

 

This is DW's card.

Re: 2 Discover CLI was Student card

I think they were waiting for the 1yr mark because of the student classification and a lack of internal history. They were happy to do a HP to get updates to external credit to see if you would qualify based on other accounts but you kept on denying it. Discover has always been a budget company that has a realistic proccess to avoid major damage.
