Discover IT Secured Card Deposit increase

After some searching I saw that discover changed their policy to where they allowed adding additional deposits up to 2500 on top of the existing line. Guy who I spoke with on the phone worked there 11 years and says that's no longer the case. Is anyone aware of this changing or somehow he was misinformed?

If it is new and very few put extra deposit later, maybe.

 

Most look at secured money as just interest loss and want a small limit.

It is an account being paid on time every month and helps score and 

aging no matter how small or large.  Almost all secured cards can be paid

down weekly and issuer does not care. Rewards limit's are capped.

Why put out a lot of money to be tied up, for the same end result?

 

Lets say you have 1,000 & want another 2,500 = 3500 * 5% = $175/yr

A $500 CL = $25/yr

 

Just a thought, you might really need the larger CL.

Needs are different for each.

Why not just try?

Let others know the outcome.

Re: Discover IT Secured Card Deposit increase

I opened my secured Discover card in Dec of 2022 with a 300 initial deposit. I added 2200 in May with the hopes that it would graduate with at least a 2500 limit the following month. It graduated the following month with a 3500 limit and had my 2500 deposit returned like a week later.

 

To date, this is my lowest limit card since I haven't gotten an increase since the graduation. 

 

Not sure if anything has changed since then.
