Can't tell that Discover and Captial One are loosening up anything. Neither one has increased my credit limit and every time I ask, it's a no.

Yep, same here. I don't even bother asking Capital One but Disco always says I don't use my card enough.

Great article . . . perhaps Disco will grant my CLI in June 2021 since they denied my request in April 2021 stating, "Insufficient experience with current Discover card credit limit."  . . . guess I need to use it more that just purchasing fuel only!

Poor banks, can't get us to pay 24.99% on credit cards while paying us .01% on savings.
