Citi Approval!

I haven't been on this forum site in a while, but I would like to share that I finally came out of the garden after 6 months and decided to apply for the Citi Simplicity card. After a nerve wrecking minute, my screen loaded and I was instantly approved for my biggest limit yet - $4700. Keep in mind I have a very short credit history and low limits on my other credit cards.

 

Stats:

AAoA: 1.4 years

Oldest Account: 1.7 years

Inq: not sure about each CB but CK shows I got 19 (TU) .. I know that's alot of inquires haha.

Income: ~20k/year (Student) 21 yo

CL on CC: BoA Cash Rewards - $800 , Golden1 CU - $500, GE: Amazon - $1800, Walmart - $800 Cheveron - $800

Loans: 22k (Car Loan)

Utilization: 11% at the time of applying (5/5/14)

No derog

 

Hope this helps future applicants!

 

TU 746 (10/13)
GOAL: 750+

Re: Citi Approval!

Thanks everyone! I wouldn't have been able to get to where I'm at if it wasn't for this site. Anyways.. I didn't feel like posting another message, but I was feeling itchy so I went ahead and applied for the Chase Freedom card. With just my luck, I was instantly approved for $2800! It's an amazing feeling to finally get approved for these banks!
