Why did i get such a low CL for Diamond?
Utilization is pretty low i think. According to Credit Karma, 13%
Basically used balanced transfer on bofa up to limit (5k) and then mainly using student discover for day-day expenses (1.5k/month) and sporadic store card
usage.
Thank you for welcome. I recently discovered this forum and am trying to use it to develop my credit more effectively than i have reasonably done (given that i'm 22 yrs old
medical student).
Thank again.
I applied DIamond got it for 4k. I thought i would recieve a higher limit.....what happened?
how soon can i request a CL increase? Hm i feel rather disappointed but maybe i shouldn't.
There are many possible reasons.
1. You have reached the max threshold for amount of credit that Citi is willing to extend to you. This cap changes over time, depending on your account history and income.
2. Citi feels that you have enough credit with them, or overall, for your income level.
3. Any other recent inquiries, derogs, or whatever changes that you have on file, if any.
Those reasons make a lot of sense to me, also it seems, there are ways to drive up a limit fairly quickly. Thanks for your concise response.
