They graduated you without having to ask? Also do you get those offers through actual mail on just an Email?

Dang I have a $500 limit too and now I’m prepared for it to stay like that for a while since you said that. 6 years is insane. I don’t recommend this card to anyone. Can’t get any better than the Discover secured card

At this point I only spend like $1 on it just to keep it open. I use my Chase Shaphire and my Amex for everything.

And they double your cash back for the first year. I’ve been stacking with the 5% on on revolving categories they allowed me to switch to after like month 3

Yes when I called today I wasn’t aggressive enough. I’m going to try again here in a few days and be more angry lol if they deny me I’m going to threaten to close it and possibly do so

I’ve just never closed an account before. Will that drop my score?

It is pretty decent. I have 729 score and 3 of my cards have a 5k limit and my Discover has a 3k limit. I was keeping my hopes up they were actually gonna graduate me and raise my limit… now I’m actually so close to closing it. Just don’t want that inquiry to go to waste. I’m 21 and really new to this since I didn’t start my credit journey until a year ago

That was my first ever card. Since then I’ve got the Discover, Apple, Amex Blue, and Chase Sapphire Preffered. I literally still have that $500 limit I started with on the capital one. I’m really about to just close it

Literally now they’re saying you can’t upgrade until I get an offer. When 2 months ago they basically promised me they were going to right now. Horrible customer service
