No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
If you really want the Citi Costco Card, I would call them and speak to a live person and state your case.
If you don't really want the hassle, forget about it and tell them to go pound sand!
Personally, I would ONLY do a 4506t for a mortgage related application. But that's just me.
Best credit wishes to you!
OP, how'd it turn out?
