Opened the card on March 8, 2016 with a SL of $1,800.
Requested CLI's at 48 and 63 days. Both were a no go. Day 91, CLI of $900 ($2,700 CL). Hit the luv button again 31 days after first CLI and received the 2-day message. Log in yesterday and boom, a $1,400 CLI ($4,100 CL). What a sweet surprise! My TU is still a little on the lower side so I certainly did not expect that increase, $500 MAYBE.
I use this card heavily in place of my debit card and I run all my monthly bills through it. I make multiple payments a month (never less than $500). Both CLI's I was carrying a balance. First time was around $100 but this second time I had a $1,200 balance (just back from vacation Don't judge lol).
Love love love this card!
UPDATED INFO: Since last CLI (72 days ago) I've had two "No's" at 32 and 49 days (I made a large payment in between these two requests) and had 2 day messages on both. 72 days after last increase I received the 2 day message again, next day I log in and see my CL was increased by $1,500! It's still my daily driver and I had just made a $1,000 payment but left a small $250 balance on the card. In 6 months, I've been granted $3,800 worth of CL, and I'm just a month and half shy of being 1 year post BK Discharge. To sayI LOVE my Discover card is a slight understatement.
Congrats!!

Love love love this card!
Very nice
Me, I've only gotten small CLI's from them, all either 300 or 500.
They like you
Thanks!
I've ran on average $3-$4k/month through this card in just 4 month's time. I would pay in full pretty much weekly, had to with my lower limit. lol. I've purchased things as small as a drink from a drive thru to a week at the Disneyland Hotel. So, it's hard to say how they figure their increases. Some people have shown little use and get bigger increases but they have higher TU scores. Whereas others show lots of use and get smaller increases, or none. Discover is definitely an odd duck.
My TU score is still recovering from my BK and I honestly did not expext my first 4 digit increase this soon and so quickly after a recent CLI. All I can say is I've used the crap out of this card, I PIF almost weekly, I have not redeemed any rewards, I pay from the Discover app (pull from my bank), and I've not let more than $200 report. That sums up my usage of the card. My overal util hovers between 1-2%. I can only hope that as my scores increase, my CLI will only get better.
Total CL: $321.7k | UTL: 2% | AAoA: 7.0yrs | Baddies: 0 | Other: Lease, Loan, *No Mortgage, All Inq's from Jun '20 Car Shopping |
