Hi everyone

Today is the day for apping and went after my car lease today.That went well and also just applied for the citibank platinum and received the message that further processing is required and they will email me within a week.Should I be worried and should I contact them now for recon? Thank you

I would wait it out and see what they say. They may want to verify some information. Personally, I would call the application status number and ask if they needed any additional information.

What's your credit look like? And congrats on the new car too

Thanks for the congrats on my auto lease. My scores before today's two inquiries was about a 705.EQ-FICO. You think I should call and ask if they need additional info for Citi card?

I would def call in. They may want to verify an address or something small. If they say you just need to wait... then wait and hope for the best.

I'm on the ole so special list.........the blacklist!! But, spoke to someone in another department and was told that based on my previous pay history with American Express I would be a good fit for another card ONCE I pay my prior bill off.Glad I applied because now I know what must be done. Must say they were very pleasant and there was NOT a hard pull.

Thinking about going after Barclays or discover.Which is easier?

Than you LS

Will have to go for the Barclays and try my score/luck. I will wait till after my CC payment hits on the 31th of this month.Should be down to 3% utlization. Was kinda fun trying for credit been a while since I did this. If I get just one additional card will then be heading to the garden and wait for march 2013 when my collection should fall off.
