When to try and negotiate...

When is the best time to negotiate APR reductions, CLI's, and combinations of cards?  I don't necessarily need CLI's on most of my cards, but I would like lower APR's and to combine some.  Should I use the card, PIF, and then call?  Should I call the backdoor numbers, or just call the number on the back of the card. 

 

Should I not use the card and then call and say I'll use the ard more with a lower APR?  

 

And on any card that I recently got a CLI, Discover, Cap1, and Citi, should I wait 6 months before asking for a APR reduction or a combination of cards?

 

What do all of you recommend as the bast course of action?

Re: When to try and negotiate...

I would call every 3 months and ask for apr reductions until you get to the place you want to be.

CLI are a little less frequent

combining accounts... I would say anytime.
