Capital One & Discover Credit Limit Increase

Like clockwork, I request credit limit increases with lenders who allow this via 'soft pull' request. This time, Capital One and Discover happened to grant a credit limit increase.

 

Capital One

Original Credit Limit: $6,250

Granted Incease Amount: $2,000

Total Credit Limit: $8,250

 

Discover

Original Credit Limit: $28,500

Granted Increase Amount: $4,000

Total Credit Limit: $32,500

 

Capital One last granted a credit limit increase in March of 2018. Same with Discover, last granted credit limit increase was in March of 2018. I find Discover quite comical. Up until I was approved for a Chase Sapphire Reserve for $29,900, Discover was no longer the highest limit. Discover has been the highest limit for almost the past year I believe. Discover noticed how generous Chase was and had to 'one up' Chase and offer $30,000+. Kidding of corse, but I'd like to think that's what happened!

 

Except for inquiries, below does not include the Citi Bank Double Cash that was approved for $9,200 on 9/11/2018 and the Chase Sapphire Reserve that was approved for $29,900 on 9/24/2018. It also does not include updated utilization and credit limit from recent credit limit request for Capital One with a $8,250 credit limt and Discover with a $32,500 credit limit.
