As a reference for anyone trying to do this at some point, here are my results:

 

-AMEX Blue Cash Everyday ($6,900 CL):APPROVED >>>went from 19,99% to 13.99%

-Discover it ($5,000 CL): APPROVED >>>went from 14.99 to 10.24%

-Citi Thankyou Preferred World MC ($5,500 CL): APPROVED >>>went from 17.99% to 16.24%

-Chase Freedom Visa Siggy (5,700 CL): DECLINED>>>Account not eligible for APR reduction. It'll remain the same 18.99%

 

*Every single request was made either through the chat or by sending a message.

Awesome...I'm trying to get Discover to reduce my APR of 22.9% to something more generous.

Try the Discover Online Chat on your account profile. You have nothing to lose. You can do it even if you're in the 0% intro APR and can ask for APR reductions every 6 months

Re: APR Reduction Spree - Done!

Discover AGAIN told me I had the lowest rate offered at 10.99 that other people could be grandfathered in at a lower rate. Weird since you got to your 10.24 via chat this way. I know it's only 0.75% but it's just weird at this point. I asked for a promotional 6 month rate like always and there was no 0% this time, but 1.9%. I'll take it, for sure. I haven't carried a balance on my discover in a long time, so doesn't really matter. It's certainly very nice to know I have that rate locked in for 6 months though. Smiley Wink
