Easiest Citibank Store Card to get?

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I am trying to get my foot in the door with Citibank. I have a FICO around 650 to 670

Which one do you think would be the easiest for me to get? Thanks for any help!

I know they back the following cards:

Macys

Big O Tires

Tire Kingdom

NTB Tire

Merchants Tire

Home Depot

Shell

Staples

Office Depot

Zales

Littman Jewelers

Ross-Simons

Sidney Thomas

Sears

Brandsource

Best Buy

Exxon

Goodyear

AT&T Universal Card

Childrens Place

Most of those cards are pretty similar I think in terms of ease of approval. I'd probably decide which one will be the most useful so you have a reason to use it.

I was approved for their AAdvantage Gold MC 4k last week with 604 EQ fico according to the welcome letter. Go figure!  You'd have a great shot here for an approval and a huge CL. Plus 50k miles bonus and first annual fee is waived along with 14 months 0% apr is a pretty good offer. Have you checked their pre qualify page?

Macy's

Shell

Exxon

Best Buy

would be my top 4 easiest.

Does getting a store card really help?  I thought that the store card and credit card were separate divisions and it's not (very) different from having any positive store card trade line as far as the Citi credit card group are concerned.

Zales or Best Buy from my experience. I have learned if you apply in store because you want to purchase something on credit right then it seems to always end in an approval for DH & I.   But yeah you should see if you have any pre-qualified offers on CitiBank first. If you do just apply for a regular CC. More useful than SC.

Brandsource is the only card I have been able to get.....all the others get denied for presence of BK back in 2010.

None of them unless your credit is around 670 or higher.

i got a bestbuy mc when my score was like 580 or so. tiny limit, like 300, with AF. after my scores went up a 100 points, and i burned through 3 HP's trying to get a CL, i cancelled it just before my 2nd AF hit.

not sure if it was a fluke that i was approved or not. 

also, home depot has a pre-approval site i prob can't post the link, but you can google it

Unless it has changed recently, Macy's isnt back by Citi
