I tried for a CLI on 08/16, but had not used the card the previous month of July and received this... hopefully I will be able to get something later this month when I try. My TU FICO 8 score on the back at the time was 770. 🤷🏻♂️
Low usage of existing line of credit got me every single time....whatever my starting limit is, will be what it is 2 years later. The low usage denial letters finally led to me not even bothering to try for CLI's. Fortunately, my starting limits are usually over 10k, so I can live with that. I do not know why they think that the existing 10k limits are enough just because the highest balance ever is 500 bucks. It is kind of rude, if you ask me. They never even put the so-called Luv button on my page, usually just a hate you a little less button is the best I can hope for.

I don't see anything in your specific/attached denial letter that suggests that.
@Anonymous, I highlighted Saeren's comment in RED ..
All I Added was a picture of Letter [ NO WORDS ] sorry for the confusion.
Edited: to add link to Saeren's comment.
Gotcha. I've only seen one denial letter personally that suggested anything [lack] utilization-related. That was probably 6-7 denial letters ago, and it's all been "insufficient experience" letters before and since. I'm probably at a 65:1 ratio on insufficient experience to utilization.
I'm curious to hear from anyone else that has seen a Discover CLI denied for not using the card enough?
One thing I'v suggested and done myself... is if trying again on CLIs, wait for them to do the monthly pull for your updated fico score (the one on the statement) But as always YMMV...
