Discover Opened The Door - I Am In !!!

[Anonymous]

Applied for Discover It last weekend.  Had me send them Proof of Address and Soc Sec Number.  Checked app status and it kept showing they needed the documents even though I sent them hours ago so I started a chat and CSR verified that received them  He then said they needed me to call in as well for additional information.  I called and they asked where did I want my card to be sent (good sign) and for my mail and residence addresses and ti name a current credit card that I have.  He then put me on hold and came back and said you are approved for 6k.

Later I went to the app site to check and found the following message:

Congratulations!
You're approved for a Discover® Card.

Welcome! Soon you'll be getting cash rewards on everything you buy with your new card.
So watch for it in the mail - then activate it right away.

Your credit line is $6,000.

SL is kind of low compared to my other cards but you have to start somewhere so I am going to make it work for me. As the Godfather of soul would say "Open Up The Door I'll Get It Myself".  They opened the door, I will do the rest.

Discover starts low usually.  This is normal.  They do grow though quite nicely.  I would take it easy on the spend and PIF each month.  This has grown my card 8X the opening limit in a year.  CLI first 90 days are off limits unless you see an auto CLI which indicates that you can hit the button.  From there on I would suggest hitting it every other month to maximize the reward.

Congratulations! That SL looks great! I only got $1000 to start. I hope it grows quickly for you though!

Congrats!! Welcome to the Discover family. I truly love my card and this company. And your SL will grow, or so I have heard, as many people on this forum grow their Discover cards exponentially.

Congrats, my Discover was one of the few cards that survived my divorce.  I had $1500 limit, they dropped me to $1000.

I went to pay my bill today and saw they gave me another $1k.

So I guess they no longer see me as a risk.

Welcome aboard!
