You are most welcome!!! and Congratulations!!! Ask for a credit increase as soon as you set up your online account.
@ronstar7 I will if you are sure it won't be a hp. Did your request for CLI ever show up as a hp?
I called and asked for increase. They granted it but I soon was alerted by Equifax . It was a hard pull! So for this card it's a hp on EX for application and a hp on EQ for credit increase. I'm still very happy.
Hi there, I dont know if it is a YMMV type thing but for me personlly there was no additional pulls after the first one when I applied for the card. I did not call in to ask for the increases, I hit the luv button online when logged into my account.. The first time was the day after I got the card and the second was the dayafter that. No extra hard pulls at all ever. Also I live in NJ, not sure if any of that has anything to do with anything but wanted to share. I am sorry you got dinged twice.
Starting scores 12/1/15 EQ 601, TU 626, EX 601
Congrats! Thanks for sharing.

Grats
Citi's store cards as the Shell is are issued by Citi Financial and not Citibank proper, I cannot get a Citi proper CC due to BK them 18 yrs ago but I can get all the co branded store cards I want.
That's good info to know....Saves me the HP.....
