CITI Diamond Preferred

Hey guys,

 

I have this card with a measly $2,600 since approved over a year ago. I see the credit limit increase within my online account. Is this a hard pull? Any suggestions on how to get this card raised up w/out a hard pull?

It starts off with soft pull but may turn into a hard pull. How come you didn't request a CLI within the first 6 months?

Good question.

 

How will I know if they pull a report though? All it says is that I'm giving CITI permission to obtain a report. I definitely don't want a hard pull.

 

Thanks,

Unfortunately it's hard to tell these days with Citi...the only way to be safe is to have your EQ frozen

I'm hesitant to pull the trigger:

3 out of 4 of my cli requests via the citi luv button have been with soft pulls and instant.

Re: CITI Diamond Preferred

Yep, way too many on Equifax so I won't chance it.

 

Just called in and spoke to an account manager.. Nice guy but there was nothing he can do. Said he's putting in an "investigation" and a request for a higher limit. We'll see where that goes.

 

The call wasn't a total waste because he did give me 0% APR for the next 8 months as a courtesy so I'll certainly take that.

Well if you have a lot then it won't hurt if you get one more with a CLI...the only reason I believe they would decline is if you have recent baddies or high balances

Re: CITI Diamond Preferred

Not even one baddie and utilization is under 10%.

 

Maybe I'll roll the dice ...........
