DISCOVER IT Miles CARD - INSTANT APPROVAL for 15K. !!! WOW

Back in January this year, I had been approved for a DISCOVER IT Chrome Card, but just after getting the approval, I decided to cancel delivery of the card, because upon reflection I didn't think I'd use it much. Also, because they only approved me for a $2500 CL. Additionally, because I had been approved for 6 other new cards just a week or week before that, soI figured to play it safe and cut the Discover.

Ever since then they have been sending me pre-qualified offers what seem like every week or two. This week I actually got two offers in the mail from them... lol

 

Finally today I decided to apply. This time for the DISCOVER IT Miles Card.

I figured I had a good chance of being approved since they have been so aggressively mailing me for months.
I was totally surprised though at the high CL they gave me.
$15,000 right out of the gate ! GREAT !!!

This approval comes on the heals of a very sucessful spree for me over the last 5 days.

I have gotten the following wins these last 5 days...
* APPROVED for AMEX PLATINUM CARD
* CLI on my BANK OF AMERICA CASH REWARD CARD ... $5,500 increased to $15,000

* CLI on my BANK OF AMERICA PREMIUM REWARDS CARD ... $7,500 increased to $15,000
*** and now the $15,000 approval on the new Discover It card.

Looks like $15,000 is my lucky number. I think I will play these numbers in one of the state lotteries LOL

LOL... Yeah, it is funny the way sometimes these CC providers do things.

As mentioned, 6 months ago when I approved for the Discover IT Chrome, they only gave me a $2,500 CL, and so canceled before the card was shipped for all the reasons I mentioned before. Now, 6 months fast forward they approved for $15K on the Discover It Miles card. Go figure...lol.

 

I the income figure on both applications was the same, but my credit scores have gone up about 20-30 points across the board the past 6 months, with low UTLZ%, and make quick & large payments on my cards. I think all those things will probably factors why the jumped to $15K on this new card approval.

 

Also, and I am not sure about this, but I am guessing that geenrally speaking, lenders might tend to skew toward higher limits on travel reward based cards, because they know a lot of people will be making larger puchases on flight & multi-day hotel stays ???  A Businees Class or First Class filght, and 5 night stay in a 4 or 5 Star hotel, can chew up a ton of your credit limit.

 

I was shocked 6 months back when Cap One gave me a $30K CL on a new VENTURE Card, but that high limit has come in very handy, cause I could put 10K on it with big flight and/or hotel reservations, and still not go above 30% UTLZ on that card. Even though I always tend to pay off my balance before closing date, I still prefer to not to use more than 30% of a card at anytime.
