No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I have a couple of questions for anybody who has graduated from Citi secured card:
did they offer any choice of card i.e Platinum select, Forward etc? did the new account retain history from the secured card? was there a significant difference b/w secured CL and unsecured CL? did they do a hard pull before unsecuring? how long did it take for Citi to send the new card? lastly, how long after graduating to unsecured were you able to get accepted for Citi-backed store cards (macys etc)?
Thanks in advance
anyone have opinion?
i believe creditaddict could answer this post
Funny part is, this is about the only topic that never yields any replies, ever. I've already tried other boards LOL!

sorry I was denied for citi Secured
about macys etc,
i think you dont need to wait to apply, macys easy to get, but apply in the store like all poster said, at least you got 100 bucks
good luck
I have had this card for three years and it has not unsecured yet. They want TU scores over 680 to unsecure i was told and they want no unpaid baddies. ALSO they do a hard pull after the 18 months to see about unsecuring and then if they do not they will do a hard pull everyone year to see about unsecuring. So becareful about that if you are trying to watch you inquiries. They are also bad about not letting you increase your limit. However when I got the card the Interest on the CD was 4% which has made me 60 bucks

You cant get a Macy's card (or any citi-backed unsecured card) if you already have secured card with Citi..

Thanks a billion for the valuable info! I infer from your post that Citi graduated your card after three years (correct?), now I want to know if they offered you choice of product at graduation i.e Platinum select, Forward, blah blah blah.
Mine hasn't graduated yet (it is due Oct 11) but i recieved a CLI 2 months ago...
so now it is a partly unsecured

...and your APR should be 18.xy% right?
catch my drift?
No my card isn't unsecured yet! This march when they pull my credit I am pretty confident that it will be.
I also didn't know they did the partially secured cards that is a good thing to know.
As for the interest yeah like all credit card they raised the interest on this one. It was 14.9% when I got it
