Discover Auto-CLI! In 3 months! No HP

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. Smiley Very Happy 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 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

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.

A 26.6% increase is pretty good, but a 375% increase would be a bit much, don't you think? Smiley Very Happy
