Chase IHG and Citi Hilton Honors Approved!

I came out of the garden a bit early (after 5 months). It was definitely a success with Citi giving me my highest limit yet! Now I'm in the garden until March next year and will be well over 6 months in between sprees for the big cards we hope to use for traveling overseas (United Explorer Signature and US Bank Club Carlson Signature). 

 

Here are my approvals:

 

Chase IHG: $3000

Citi Hilton Honors: $4000

 

I also applied for a CLI on my Barclaycard Average Rewards Card (currently at $1500) but received a 48 hour pending message. I assume I should have waited until the 6 month mark for that but oh well. Lesson learned!

 

Other info:

 

Income--17k

Student

Equifax--680

Experian--695

Transunion--709

Re: Chase IHG and Citi Hilton Honors Approved!

Congratulations on your Chase and Citi approvals!  Citi is pretty good with SP CLIs every six months.  You can request the CLI via the online account and it's usually a soft-pull.  My Citi Simplicity started at $10,900 in November 2012 and it now sits at $15,100 as a result of 3 soft-pull CLIs every six months.

 

Again, congrats!  Nicely done.

Re: Chase IHG and Citi Hilton Honors Approved!

Quick update! I called Barclay to check the status of my CLI request and they granted me a $1000 increase for a new credit limit of $2500. They did do a hard pull but I was ready for it and could afford it on my report. I'm so happy with Barclay right now! It's not as high as the other cards but it's still something! Smiley Happy
