No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I got my Discover IT card a few months ago (28 May). This morning, I wake up to an Email. "About your Credit Line".
And it's a $2,000 auto-CLI! Taking the limit to $9,500 (see edit). I have no idea why I got it, but I'll take it. I checked Experian, and no HP. As far as I know, there's no HP if the Credit Card company gives you a CLI, without you asking for it.
Only preciptiating factor I can think of is just getting approved for an auto-loan on a BMW.. maybe Discover likes Bimmers? I know it sounds odd, but that's the only thing that's changed in my credit profile. I do have a clean profile, but an auto-CLI in less than 3 months?
Ah well, whatever. Just wanted to share with you guys, and thanks for all the help. These boards have helped me get very nice credit, and hence a great rate on my car loan. Couldn't have done it without the knowledge here.
EDIT: It's a $2,000 increase, taking my total to $9,500. I'm sleepy and messing up my math.

Congrats
Congrats!
Mind sharing your spend and payment pattern on this card? I'd like to know how to massage my card up into a better limit like that.
Ah, I see you started at $7500 then +$2000. I thought it was the other way around and was about to declare your's as the largest % DiscoIT CLI I have ever seen.
Congrats! I got my CLI this morning also (via the luv button lol).
Congratulations! Auto Luv is the best Luv!
A 26.6% increase is pretty good, but a 375% increase would be a bit much, don't you think?
