I guess I don’t get how credit cards work

So I paid off my discover credit card. I had owed $5,700 on it. I got capital one and I owe like 2,700 on it currently. My limit was 3k. So out of nowhere they increased my limit to 6k. I thought you had to request it?

I would pay off what you owe then cut up the credit card.
Physically save money for the stuff you want. Then you pay the displayed price. Not the displayed price plus exorbitant interest.
Discipline is all that is required.
