So, I've been wanting a credit card with a a decent credit limit.  I saw all the Cap 1 Venture approvals and went for it.  Needless to say I was denied.  Anyway I've been wanting a discover but was denied in September.  So I went ahead and applied online and was approved, however, it did not tell me my credit limit.  So I call customer service and speak with an agent and was told I was approved for $10,000.  I was SHOCKED!  Anyway I'm very excited and just wanted to share the good news!


Congrats! Awesome SL!

Sounds like Discover is the new Venture card.  Prepare for the landslide!

Yeah, people are about to stampede to Discover as they did to Capitol One!

Re: Discover Approval with generous credit limit

+1 I definitely see it here and there but opening at $10k with Discover is a rare bird.

Re: Discover Approval with generous credit limit

I don't know about a discover stampede just yet. I was approved for IT @ 12,000 last month.

Congrats OP. Great limit. Moving on up!

Re: Discover Approval with generous credit limit

Congrats. This is really surprising given your existing limits, as Discover call themselves a conservative lender....

They are on the low limit side of all my cards, and once refused to limit match.

Re: Discover Approval with generous credit limit

That happened to me way back when I applied in 2007 (it was the Discover More card back then).  I was approved for 9,900 and I was literally in shock for a month.  Especially since my scores weren't NEARLY what they are now.

 

It can happen, but yeah, pretty rare.  Congrats on the limit.
