Citi APR Decrease

[stizzlerizzle]

So I called 2 months ago asked for a decrease and they said they couldn;t do anything then but to call back in the next couple of months.  So I paid of my Citi card (actually I had a $30 credit).  I called today and they kept ransferring me to to more and more people.  The last CSR i spoke with offered to lower it from 29.9% to 11.9% for the next 6 months.  I never threatened to cancel my card, but she kept saying "If you are willing to keep your account open with us today..."  I know it's still 11.9% but it's a lot better than what I was getting and is a step in the right direction.  Here's to better APR higher limits and better scores/
