Re: Will Discover give a CLI every 91 days if you don't ask?

My credit limit with Discover is now $27,500.  It started at $7,500 May 2014.  I spend about 3k monthly on the card and pay in full each month.

In my experience, they will not give an auto-increase every 91 days. The auto increases seem to be more random and occur at longer time intervals. 


I have been a Discover card holder for 25 years. They never gave me an automatic increase during that time. I always PIF so the only income they received was through merchant fees.

 

I did receive a "manually requested" increase of $5k by talking to a CSR. Then 60 to 65 days later I put in an on-line increase request and received another $6k the next day. Requested CLIs do not generate an HP with Discover  ... unless you push for more than they offer. Best to avoid that situation - IMO.

Started my Discover at $5k, got a couple of small CLIs.  When the luv button started working, I started hitting it.  Raised to $15K.  Then last time I hit it, got denied.  Oh well, figured I'd just wait.  Next thing I know it was raised to $20K.  I figured that was more than I would ever need, so I just leave it.

Looking at your tag line and your available CLs, I think you're doing just fine. Smiley Wink
