Best Buy Citi Mastercard

Those of you with the Rewardzone MC that recently transitioned to Citibank, any luck with CLI?  I was waiting for my 6th statement on that card to cut and see what happens but I'm not holding out much hope.  I may end up closing the card ($500 limit) if it doesn't start to "catch up" to my other cards. Just wondering if anybody had any news/luck since the transition.

I have the same limit and no increase since the change over.  I called once to request an increase and the lady was really awesome and friendly, but I cancelled the request when I found out it would be a hard pull.  I'll be watching this thread to see if anyone had better luck with them.  If I don't get an increase in the next few months I'm cancelling.

Ive had the card 3 years, no CLI. Just closed it last week.

I wonder if purchasing a big ticket item increases your chance for a higher CL.

I tried every possible permutation of spend / carrying balances / pif vs minimums ... nothing.

Closed mine as well.  Tried for CLI, no go.  Oh well I have much better cards with higher limits so no loss for me.  Kinda hoped Citi taking over would benefit card holders but no dice.

Re: Best Buy Citi Mastercard

Funny story. Back in october had to purchase a new TV. Settled on a Samsung tv for $1400. During the checkout the salesman said I was pre-approved for a best buy CC.  Hmmm asked if I could use it today for my purchase 0 APR. He checked on it and said sure np, but I would need a another card for the balance. The pre approved me for $500 when I'm buying a $1400 tv. Smdh, I don't get it.
