Citi Diamond Preferred

Just got an offer for a Citi Diamond Preferred card, with the O% for 18 months.  Does anyone know anything about this card?  What type of scores are needed to get approved?

 

Thanks

Re: Citi Diamond Preferred

i got this card in feb after many offers from them.  My scores were in the 675-680 range.  I got a $4700 CL.  Personally, I didnt think I qualified but they certainly seemed to think so.  I just responded to one of their offers and it was an instant online approval.

At the time I had 5 old inq and a satisfied lien that they refuse to remove off my CR but other than that my report is flawless with a great payment history.  I'm new to credit as I'm not from this country.  I have a student loan and car loan in excellent standing as well.  At the time I only had my Bank of America CC that was secured which graduated soon after the approval of Citi. 

 

I was truly surprised to get this card but very happy nonetheless.
