What were your Citi HP CLI results?

[Anonymous]

For those that DID take a HP CLI on their Citi card, what were your results?

• What type of Citi card was it?
• What was your SL and had you received a SP CLI prior?
• How long did you have your account prior to requesting a HP CLI?
• What credit limit did you request and did you get what you requested, or were you countered with a lesser amount?
• What was your typical monthly spend on the card?
• Any other data such as income, utilization and so on is welcome.

Citi Double Cash
SL: $3600
Had my account for just a month or two at the most, so no prior SP CLI.
Requested $17500. Was given $8400.
Spent a few hundred a month at the time.
Utilization was probably very low, likely 1% or less. Won't give exact income figures but my debt to income ratio is quite high thanks to student loans.
Credit scores generally in the 760-780 range around that time.

Irish and GB, question for both of you.  Were the cards you two referenced your only Citi cards at the time, or did you have prior history with Citi?  I think this is important because in both of your cases you requested the HP CLIs early on, so if they were your only Citi accounts they were obviously granting those CLIs with much less history as opposed to if you had other, greater aged Citi accounts.  I guess I'm trying to gauge here how much history/relationship impacted those CLIs for the two of you.

Thank you for the data thus far everyone!
