Recently I paid a decent chunk of my debt off. I noticed they FINALLY reported the payment and I was feeling frisky, so I started checking if I had any pre-approvals floating around.
Discover gave me pre approvals for the It and the Chrome with a single APR (24%, yuck, but I don’t plan to carry a balance anyway.) I pulled the trigger on the It. Approved! SL $1,600, not the greatest but I’m just glad I finally got my foot in the door l with them.
I’m guessing they pulled EX, I haven’t received any notifications yet. Scores should be in the 650-660 range. An embarrassing amount of inquiries (20, I think. 8 in the last 12 months.)
My question for you guys, how do I get this card to grow? I’m planning to move most of my daily spending to them. I’ve read here and there about double dip CLIs with them but I’m not sure how that works or when I can start poking the bear.
Super Congrats on your Discover It $1,600 approval!!! 
If you're looking to pull the trigger on a CLI, check out the Back Door Numbers
link below. Scroll down to the Discover section and call the last number which is
the CLI Specialist. Congrats again on your approval. Thanks for sharing!

Discover likes usage, so make this your go-to card and ask for CLI after, say, 91 days. 
Congrats on your approval !!!! Welcome to Disco family
Congrats 
. Best advice is to just use it. No one can tell you how to score a cli because none of us know. Discover is an enigma to all. Cli specialist sounds like an oxymoron , they will read from a script and if you are eligble for a cli you'll get one. Double dipping only works for a few, not everyone gets those so ymmv as always. Cli are sp unless they advise you they can hp for more. Auto luv can happen but rare. Enjoy your Disco

Congrats! There is no solid who, what, when and how they do CLI's as the previuos posters said. It was either AJC or BBS was on a train for a while then the train ran out of gas (SP CLI's). I started at 1200 2 years ago. In fact got an alert their HP was removed from EQ today. Like the guys say. Use it and PIF. I went to 6500 after 20 months with a DD around 9 months? And at least over a dozen luv buttons. Moved 1500 to my newest Discover once approved and converted 1st iT to the iT Chrome. As they say YMMV. or DMMV (Discovers Mind May Vary)
Congrats on the approval! Just use it as a daily or close to that and you can request a CLI any time. I would also recommend on gardening for a bit to let the inq's age and fall off.
