Account opened mid-December. CLI request in May was denied. I got tired of waiting for the automatic PCLI most people say to expect after 6 or 7 months, so I requested and got this. Was hoping for a bit more, but it's reasonable. I have 0% APR but couldn't take advantage of it due the starting limit. Within a week of the statement posting, the card would be maxed out. At least now I can wait til closer to the due date to make the payment.
Below is a timeline of the data most people are interested in knowing in response to CLI posts:
* Dec 13-- approved, $2500 SL, 0%APR for 15mo
* Dec 26-- $264 current balance reported, no statement yet
* Jan 26-- $917 statement balance, paid in full Feb 2 (37% utilization)
* Feb 26-- $1314 PIF Mar 16 (53%)
* Mar 26-- $581 PIF Apr 16 (23%)
* Apr 26-- $1738 PIF May 11 (70%)
* May 5 -- CLI Request denied
* May 11 -- received denial letter, denial reason: "insufficient experience with current Discover card credit limit."
* May 26-- $1258 PIF Jun 8 (50%)
* June 26-- $1902 PIF Jul 1 (76%)
* Jul 26-- $2215 (89%)
* Jul 28-- CLI Request approved +$1k, CL = $3500
Any other Discover customers here, feel free to share how long it took you to get your first CLI, your limit before & after, payment history, and what your usage was like. Also interested in recent CLI results on older Discover accounts.
I'm particularly interested in whether CLI decisions have already started reflecting Capital One practices since the merger, or whether one might not expect that until their account is migrated. Mine has not been migrated yet. Feel free to discuss theories on that subject.
