Thanks for the data point & congrats on the auto increase. If you are putting that spend through it, I see no reason not to try at 91 days.
Congrats on your early auto increase! My hubby's card was opened on 4/22/16, and he asked for an increase at 70 days and got one for $500 too. I'm glad to see that one can get a cli when there is a balance owed with Discover (hubby was pif at the time of his increase, but has since posted a balance on the statement that cut yesterday). I think he'll try for another one at 91 days. Your post was informative and helpful, and confirmed that pif is not always a necessity when looking for an increase from Discover. Good luck to you, and please post any new changes that come your way!

Thanks weedeb! Much appreciated. I am really starting to like this Discover card and will make it my got to source along with Citi DC. I am highly anticipating what will happen on my standard 91 cli request and will keep you informed.
You're welcome! Hubby is downsizing some of his Cap One cards and closing a few others. Doesn't need all of them. He's making his two Penfed cards and Discover his main go to cards. I've got a Discover too, but will use his more often, since Discover has been more generous with him from the start. Will let you know about any add'l increases that come his way!
Nice Congrats to you !!!

Apped and was approed for Discover IT in April 2016 with starting CL of $1,200. Immedietely put spending through with several large purchases being made. Went close to my max CL as well, never PIF holding a balance through my first 2 statements.
Fast forward to this morning, logged into my account 2nd statement had just cut, an to my suprise a $500 auto cli! Now that really caught me off guard especially seeing that I had a balance of $800 or so on my account. And according to my calender I recieved this auto cli on day 75 in which the account ws approved. Now thinking of pressing my fortunes and hitting the luv button on day 91. Any thoughts ?
Just wanted to add my experience to the forums.
Congratulations On Your Approval....Thanks For Sharing..
