Discover CLI - ? - 500

So first CLI in well over a year for a huge $500!  I gave them a 4300 BT this month to see if I could get any growth.. Sure did $500 whopping dollars with a 807 TU fico 08.  Guess I should not be surprised.  Only reason I did the BT was used a 3% card and BT fee was 3% so netted out.  Called and tried to get more, nope...  Will be paying off the BT before next statement cuts as have the cash.  Experiment failed and discover still throws me crumbs, but who can blame then I joined them with several hundred k in open credit and now around 650k in personal credit.  Tried to give them something to chew on, wasn't good enough.   Also threw them a $600 payment prior to asking after the BT and let statement cut prior to payment.  Just a DP.  Guess I should be grateful as $500 is better than nothing.  Just another DP will pay off and use on 5% only as always.  Limit now is $18,500 although high is still one of my lower cards.  Least growth i guess.  I don't know why discover bugs me so much on their CLI weirdness when i already know the answer... Card is 3+ years old and also several card combinations as well to get to this limit.
