No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I recently got my first Discover card with a low starting limit. I wasn't sure if they do recons on SL so I called the backdoor number to find out. He told me they have no manual review process for starting limits.
He ALSO told me that due to current circumstances (I'm assuming COVID?) they are not manually reviewing new accounts for auto CLI until after the card has been open for 12 mos. In addition, he said they are no longer approving CLI at 3 months and all CLI (auto or requested) will be denied until the account has been open 12 months.
um WHAT?!
Yeah, I saw this posted on reddit. Honestly not that surprising given the situation. I think a year is kind of harsh and 6 months would have been a bit more reasonable, but then again there are lenders who almost never give CLIs at all or make it very difficult, so, it is what it is. At least after a year you can still request it.

Bummer. One of the main reasons I got this card was the quick growth potential. Wish I would have known this a month ago.
Uhh what? I certainly dont like to hear that. I've had mine a couple of months and was looking forward to 91/3.
Just earlier this morning there was member here that posted they received an email from Disco saying they were offering a CLI. The member stated they only had their CC for 4 months.
Anyways I'll still try when the time comes. Thanks for the DP's

I have a CU card that is 23 years old, no rewards and has the origional CL.
They do not issue CL increases, period.
So what is a year !

With a SP there's no harm in trying! I'm going to still do the same. The worst they can do is say no.

If you dont mind, keep us updated when your 91/3 comes and you give it try. I'll be doing the same.
