I got approved for my a second Disco card a couple of years ago. I've primarily used it for balance transfers and have not been able to get a CLI. 

 

I requested the increase and was surprised to see that they approved it! It was 2.5K, which isn't a lot to some, but it felt like a million given the fact that this card has NOT increased since I got it.


Congratulations 🎉🎊 on the CLI.  Awesome

Credit is a lot like a Reputation....It takes 20 years to build it and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, and you will do things differently.

@SweetCreditObsession Yayyyy, that is a definite celebration!  My first Disco was a secured $200 at first. I was so happy to have a quality cc in my wallet.  After 6 months Disco rewarded me by unsecuring the card, sending me my $200 in 3 days and raising the limit to $K.  I was so happy to see my initial $200 investment turn into a great long term relationship with a great institution.  However, lol, I have not been given any extra love since!  Enjoy!!!

Re: Finally! Discover CLI after 2 years

@IamWesty12 - thanks! I agree with you that Disco can be generous. This is my 2nd Disco. They've updated my first Disco roughly every six months because I've got an interesting profile. I've heard that some see an increase every 3 months. 

 

This second Disco hasn't grown the entire time that I've had it so I'm happy to see this movement.


Best wishes on your growth!

Re: Finally! Discover CLI after 2 years

@kickhard88 - How long have you had the first Disco? I got my first about six years ago and it grew gradually but it was pretty steady. I've had the second one for a couple of years and there was no movement. I don't know if it has to do with my credit profile or if Disco's been more conservative.

Re: Finally! Discover CLI after 2 years

@IamWesty12 - I'm glad that you've seen growth and love from Disco. Those are interesting DPs. How long have you had your Disco that unsecured?

Re: Finally! Discover CLI after 2 years

@babygirl1256 - a year feels like an eternity, especially when you read about others that get a CLI within six months. Hang in there and keep asking~
