Approved for large transfers

Credit Karma Member

Seems people have problems getting approved for enough, which I have with other cards but not this one. I have two transfer cards with them now, one for 12k, second one for 8k. I think discover like older history more than younger history, more important than score. Mine was barely 700, upper 600s on the first one.

Should've listened to the other reviews

Credit Karma Member

I saw the reviews of the low credit limit and bad customer service and just wrote them off. I was wrong. I, too, was approved for 3k, when I have 5 other cards with 30k limits, plus a platinum. Almost 800 credit score, 150k a year income and house and cars paid for. Called twice and kept getting forwarded to a department that was closed. Denied for increase online. Chatted with 2 agents on the app and they literally didn't even read the 3 sentences I sent explaining my issues. A "balance transfer" card with a worthless limit AND it would not even let me transfer a balance ("unavailable at this time"). Please just trust me and skip this card. Creditkarma in good conscience should not even promote it. Was looking for an easy 3% loan and got swindled into a hard inquiry. Card immediately canceled and I will NEVER use discover again. Rant over.
