Time to add another card...help

Good morning everyone.

 

Time to stick my head out of the garden for a brief secon and get a new CC.

 

I am torn between the Citi Diamond pref, Citi Thank You pref, or a Chase card (have to research Chase some more).

 

Which one would be better?

Which one gets a higher starting CL?

Who are they pulling from?

 

My scores are 740-750 depending on the day :-)

With about 4-8% total util.

 

Thanks!

You guys/girls ROCK!!!!


Starting Score: 2/8/10: TU 650 EQ 643 EX ~600(FACO)
Current Score: 11/24/12: TU 740 EQ: 740 EX: 683(FACO)
Goal Score: 750+ (dare I say)

Since the world (or, at least, the CC world), is your oyster with those scores, why not research a card with the best sign-up bonus? Smiley Very Happy

 

With your selection, the CSP would be your best bet...however, if you cannot justify $3,000 spend for 40,000 bonus points (worth $500 in travel, if not more, if you transfer to hotel/airline partners) or the annual fee, or both, then I would go for the Freedom! Citi cards are okay, but if you don't have a Chase card already, I would pick one of them up first!

CSP is the top tier. What are you looking for? Rewards, cash back, travel

Chase Sapphire Preferred! That's the one with the 40,000 bonus points! Not sure if this is still going on, but Chase brances are offering the same bonus, but with less spending, at $2,000 instead of $3,000

 

They also have a prequalifying tool that will show you your prequalified offers for either Slate, Freedom, or CSP...

 

Also feel free to research their cobrands with many hotels, airlines, and other partners. If there's one that you frequent most often, then a cobranded card for it through Chase would be good too! For example, if you fly United a lot, the United chase cards would be a good fit.

 

Best of luck!
