tldr version, I got a $1K CLI from Discover that put my total card CLs at $100,100, or $125,100 counting an AU card.
Long version:
I have noted quite a few times that Discover is my oldest card and my smallest card. That is no longer true. At $3,100, it now noses out my NFCU card, which is at $3,000. I just got a $1,000 CLI on Discover, taking it from $2,100 to $3,100. I considered only taking $900 of it to give an even number, but then thought, it's Discover, I might regret that if I never get another CLI.
(Edited to add: Discover is back to being the smallest. One day later, I got a covid $4K CLI on my NFCU card, taking it from $3,000 to $7,000.)
The Discover card was opened in May 2019 as a secured card with a $500 deposit/CL. A month later, I increased it to $1,000. In December, it unsecured, with a new CL of $1,500. I was happy it unsecured in time, but not thrilled with the CL, since my scores at the time were in the 700s and I was seeing others with scores in the 600s unsecuring from lower CLs to higher CLs. I then went most of 2020 with no CLIs. Denials said insufficient experience at current CL.
A few months ago, I got a $300 CL. About a month after that, I got another $300, bringing me to $2,100. Then, I was denied again a few times (insufficient experience message), then last month, I was denied with a new message indicating I hadn't used the card enough. So, I put most of my spend through it. The statement cut yesterday morning. I applied for a CLI as soon as the statement cut and was denied. I decided, well, it's Discover, so who knows, and applied again for a CLI a few hours later and was approved for the $1,000 CL to $3,100.
This is an especially meaningful CLI since it took my total card CLs from $99,100 to $100,100. (Add $25K to both numbers for an AU card if you count that.)
My profile is so weird that I don't know if my DPs are valuable for anybody else, but just wanted to share a rare instance of the enigma shrouded in mystery known as Lady Discover smiling upon me.
Congratulations
