Denied for CLI on a closed account

[ezdoesit]

I had a Citi TYP account with a 25k cl that I closed 4 months ago because of little use and I put little value on the TY rewards program. Well the other day someone wrote how they have an offer for a SP ClI on a closed account and I think it was Lurker.  So I decided to check my Citi TYP and it also had a offer for a SP CLI so I decided to pull the trigger.

Not surprisingly it was instantly declined.  So I got a letter on the website about my request and it told me I was denied because the account was closed and that I can call to reopen it. 

I was wondering if anyone ever did this and do you think they would they reopen it W/O a HP and PC the account to the DC?

Wow, weird to see call to reopen it. That's unusual.. do you want it back?

I think it would be funny if they granted a CLI since it was already closed.

That is the exact letter I thought it was weird also.  I do want it back but only with a DC PC also with the same 10.24 apr.  I think I am asking a lot though.

A 25k limit account of little use?

For util alone it's got pretty good value.

Uh...why don't you just app for the DC?

I would agree but I closed that account after I got a CSP and Freedom each with a 19k limit and the EDP with a 21k limit which is now 31k. So with the new cards I didn't need the util boost also I rarely carry much of a balance maybe 1-3%.

I really don't like to have more cards than I need plus the TYP was opened in 2003 so to reopen it would help instead opening up a new account.
