Discover pulled from Experian as expected - was a 667 (currently rebuilding from low 400s... it's been a long road.) 2% credit utilization ratio, 30,000 trade line auto loan. I'm thankful I was approved for a card, but they only approved me for a $500 credit line. Seems like a waste of an account.
Congratulations on your approval! That SL will grow in no time. Also, welcome to the forums!
Congrats on the approval! Seems like Disco's dishing out low SLs lately for mid 600s. There is a ton of info on rapid CLI's with them however! Keep us posted how it grows.

I understand the disappointment. However if you read some of the dedicated Discover threads you'll discover (pun intended) $500 today can be 15K tomorrow.
Congrats! on getting approved.
1985, I'm hoping so! I'm above a 650 on all three bureaus with a pretty extensive report (two auto loans, 2 credit cards, personal loan, student loans.) I do have quite a few hard inquiries (around 30 on each report) from auto shopping and refiancing and my DTI ratio's a bit high (35%), but a $500 CL is kind of a smack to the face.
Also, thanks! I've browsed the forum for awhile, but never decided to sign up until just today.
I. Suddenly greatful for my 2K SL; I’ve read a lot of recent approvals at 500 or 900. I can’t wait for it to grow. I was approved at around 660 with 18% útil.

Be grateful that Discover even approved you with your profile. I got my first CLI auto fromt them 4 months after I got the card. It will grow sooner than you expected. Good luck!
Never fear, it will grow! I started at the $500 limit as well just shy of 2 years ago, at $3100 now. Not leaps and bounds, haha, but progress nonetheless ;-) Congrats!!!
I've never considered applying for a Discover card until today - do they have strict criteria? My scores may be on the lower end, but my report definitely isn't bad. Great payment history, low credit utilization, good mix of trade lines.
