I just finished my first full statement with the DC. When should I be looking to try to get a CLI? From what I gather, I should be planning on a hard pull for most Citi CLI's, correct? It'd be worth the pull for me in a few months or whenever if it's for a solid increase.
My starting limit is $1200. That's useful for me (I did put $3000 on it the first full month and ended with a $0 balance), but obviously more would be better.
If you don't add too many accounts between now and your 180 day anniversary. By the way, Citi is VERY sensitive to new accounts at the beginning of the relationship. You may have a SP increase waiting on you at the end of 180. For some of us it took longer to actually get it.
What I've learned, if you receive a SP increase and not happy with it. Immediately pull the trigger on the next screen and submit a request for what you want. That will be a HP. YMMV..As there are no absolutes or guarantees.
If you wait too long after the SP to submit a request..You will be denied. The denial will state unable to give increase because of recent increase. Citi's increases are given strictly 180 days apart..Not a day sooner IME.
