Citi PC + CLI
[ Edited ]

‎09-04-2012 08:06 PM - edited ‎09-04-2012 08:08 PM

I called to see about PCing my Citi Platinum Select card to the Forward so I can start earning rewards for restaurants (btw, great advice guys!!). I called the retention number and got an amazingly joyful CSR! I couldnt upgrade to the Forward because it wasnt availble for some reason, but I was able to upgrade to the Thank You card. The reward points are seriously lacking and aren't that great, but at least Im earning something! Plus, I get to keep my 0% APR till Oct 2013 :smileyvery-happy: Oh, and to top it off, Citi gave me a CLI of $750! The luv denied I was denied by Cap1 has been vastly made up by Citi :smileyhappy:

 

 

Edit: CSR did say I can PC my card as many times as I want as long as my credit worthiness stays intact; so, the Forward may be in my near future

The ThankYou has been a great card to me. Yes, the points aren't the greatest in value, but they do have some pretty decent options under "travel experiences," got to see a few shows in Vegas for free! Also they have been lenient on the CLIs for me.

Did you have the MasterCard version of Platinum Select?

 

I recommend you try to PC again into Forward couple months later, but this time use backdoor number. Credit analyst at the backdoor should be able to help you even more.

I have had the card for 8 months now. I only got it for the BT and it was sitting at 80% Util! They denied my request for a CLI 2 months ago, but I was at 95% Util. I was suprised they did anything for me since there was so much on it!
