Re: Discover CLI Strategy Help

I will try again on 12/3. I only tried now because of the post that said there was an increase at 31 days. 😂 Or maybe I will wait to see if I get an auto increase around mid December and if not hit the button. I am just going to pay more than the minimum but probably take about 6 months to pay off the BT.

That's my badd -- i'm sorry,  I misread my own CLI spreadsheet.   My first CLI was on day 82.   I asked prior to that but was denied.    I corrected my post right after posting but I guess I wasn't fast enough and you had already read it...

Re: Discover CLI Strategy Help

It’s fine. At least they know I’m interested!

Unfortunately, there is no pattern, rhyme or reason with Discover CLI's. Literally just hit the increase button every so often and see what happens 😂


I agree completely!  I have never been able to figure out Discover's CLI process.  Over the years, I have just kept hitting the love button and the CL just kept going up.  I am currently sitting at over $73K, which really does not make a whole lot of sense, as I only give the card a couple of hundred dollars in spend each month.  At times it is even less $100.  

 

I will mentioned that the last two times that I hit the button, I got the message that the request was under review and then ultimately denied.  I suspect I am as high as I can go with them based on my income.

That’s nuts. I didn’t even know Disco went that high. That always seemed to be a line reserved for BoA or Chase.

Re: Discover CLI Strategy Help

I hit the love button for $500 tonight ($9500 to $10000) after waiting for a increase to my FICO score to roll in.

 

I'm in month 8 with the card and have been paying monthly on a BT. I'll wait until the FICO score posts next month to see if I can get a more significant increase.
