Mega Discover CLI

My 6 months came up on my Discover Open Road card this month. I tried so hard to not request a CLI and to see if they would give me an auto, but temptation got the best of me.

 

I called in and requested a CLI from 6k to 10k and was approved after speaking to one of the reps in the credit department. This was after an initial denial from the front door CSR. 

 

I pulled my TC this morning and I didn't see an inquiry, so hopefully one won't show up. 

Here we go again...

Re: Mega Discover CLI

My 6 month mark was yesterday and no auto for me. I'm thinking about calling for one. What number did you use?

I used the normal 1-800-DISCOVER number on the back of my card.

Re: Mega Discover CLI

that's a nice increase, woohoo!  did you already have 10k+ lines before you got this one? 

 

according to other recent posts who received an initial denial and then reconned Discover, there will be a hard inquiry.  most likely TU or EX.  if not, even better, but i'd imagine it's worth it either way for the nice increase you got.  Congrats!

Re: Mega Discover CLI

fretless,

did you ask to speak to someone inparticular? bc I like you called for a cli as my 6 months was up end of nov and i didnt get an auto cli, so i called the beginning of the week and they man said i wasn't approved and i would get a letter stating why...my starting cl is $3000, in this day and age i'd be happy with any cli, i'm not picky..any info you can provide fretless would be most helpful..

 

thanks & congrats

can't wait until the day i have a $10000cl on any of my cards Smiley Very Happy

They transfered me over to some department, which I want to say was called the Credit Department. They took down my employment info and said that's all they needed and I would know something within 24 hours. 

 

It was there the next time I logged in (some hours later).
