Ok, I was to only read and digest others stories, tips, and knowledge on this site. I thought I was doing good in Oct when I was approved for AMEX Zync, Cap1, Discover More, and Citi Plat Select. I tried for Barclay NFL, Chase Marriott, Lowes, no love from them. So, I have my eyes set on the Diamond Preferred and notice that there were others who was talking about it. After reading it, I decided to give it a shot...cha-ching, I was approved. 
Ok, the cl is $2600, but I can grow with this card since I heard that the bi-annual cli is pretty good. What a way to end the year. And my score dropped from 701 (AMEX) in Oct to 694 (Citibank) Experian.
Thanks for the post! Congrats!! I'm interested in this card too! If you don't mind- how many hits on EX did you have before applying? Thanks in advance. 
Starting Score: 642

If you was to ask me last year about credit cards, I would have got into my dave ramsey batmobile and chase you down. But after coming to this website and learning about all the parts of credit, mortgages, and other forums, I needed to move away from DR and re-learn the "Art of Credit". If big and small business operate off of credit, then I needed to get smart now.
I will use this card for lunch or dinner, but will be SD. I have it mainly to increase my utilization...

@Anonymous's funny as all..... thanks for the laugh. I've been on the fence on this card because of inquiries, I have 3 new on EX and didn't want the decline. Also, because of my intent to purchase a house at the end of next year, I want to get any inquires before the end of this year. Anyway... because of your post, I went ahead and pulled the trigger. APPROVED! $8000 Limit @ 12.99% / 0% for 18 months for purchases and BT. YEAH! Thanks for your input! It's greatly appreciated.
Thanks! KUDOS to you! I probably wouldn't have applied if I hadn't of read your thread! I love MyFICO forums. Put up a question yesterday about Citi and this card and didn't get one response, so I thought maybe there wasn't a lot of experience with this card.
