The highest credit limit on a Discover card can range from $6,500 up to $9,200, according to cardholder reports. These are reports are unconfirmed, however, as Discover does not disclose a maximum credit limit for any of its unsecured credit cards.
Discover sets a minimum credit limit of $500 for all of its cards except the Discover it® Secured Credit Card. Its credit limit is determined by the amount of a cardholder’s refundable security deposit, which starts at $200 and could be as high as $2,500.
If you are approved for an unsecured Discover card, the information on your application will determine whether you’ll receive a starting credit limit above the $500 minimum. That initial credit limit is not permanent, though. After making at least six consecutive months of on-time payments, Discover cardholders may become eligible for an automatic credit limit increase, though receiving one is not guaranteed. You may also request a credit limit increase, either by logging into your Discover account online or by calling customer service at 1 (800) 347-2683.
