Re: How long til I request CLI on Discover?

I've received a automate CLI every 3 months since I've open my Discover account (May 2013). I treat them well and they return the favor with a automate CLI ranging from $750 to $1,000. As long as a receive CLI I will probably not ask for one until I decide to shoot for Gold and in that case I'll do a HP, but personally I do not need to do that right now. Also, for point of reference I make multiple large payments and I let some report. I'm not using any magic number par say. Good luck!!!!
My Wallet: Amex Express BCE $27,000, Amex Express Blue Sky $6,000, Delta SkyMiles $10,000, Discover $14,000, Chase Freedom $23,500, Capital One $8,000, SAMS $10,000, and LOWES $10,000

Re: How long til I request CLI on Discover?

Hmmm, I opened my Discover IT in Dec 2012 and my first CLI was last month.  They gave me a whopping $400 bringing me to a $1,400 CL.

 

The crazy thing is that I have CL's from $5000 to $22,000 on major CC's, so I'm not sure what their deal is.  The option to request a CLI has never been available to me.  I just called yesterday and was turned down.  The CSR said it looks like they might not give it to you because of your other high limits.

 

So I just use them from time to time and PIF.  I'm not too concerned about it, but I find it strange that they won't give me what I consider a decent CL Smiley Very Happy.

Re: How long til I request CLI on Discover?

I got my Discover IT card in May of 2013 and it had a starting CL of $2000.  I received an auto CLI in November of $200.  I received a second auto CLI of $400 earlier this month.  This brings my total CL up to $2600.  I'm hoping for at least another $400 auto CLI by May of this year, but I don't need it.  I've used this card every month since I got it and the usage has been fairly light.  I always let a balance report (mainly due to the free FICO score now) and I've always paid in full except for one month early on when I was still under the 0% APR period.  Just sharing my experience with them so far.

Thanks all.

 

We are also taking advantage of a zero percent BT offer, but are keeping utilization under 50%.

 

Methinks I'll put an auto pay bill on it of some variety, and wait for the third statement to cut which should be mid March.

Yes SP and you will be notified if a HP is required at which point you can cancel

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?
