Citi Costco Visa

Anonymous — Thu, 20 Jun 2019 19:48:03 GMT

This one surprised me I have to say. Renewed my Costco membership and noticed the sign for the Citi Costco card. Didn’t want to apply in store fearing a denial. Came home, did some research and decided to apply. Approved for $4k!!

Stats:
Double pulled Exp(666) and Equ(646)
Low Util (11% across all cards)
About 12 inquiries on both bureaus.

Hopefully this will help someone with similar stats!

Congrats. I love the rewards on my costco visa. Only problem is getting the cash back once a year. My card is 14 montgs old, and have gotten a $2,500 and a $3, 000 cli.

That’s awesome! Yeah the once a year reward is odd, but then again a nice chunk all at once might be nice. What was your CLI timeline like? HP or SP?

They do make it easy though, if you can stand waiting that long for your rebates. Costco clears out your rebates at the 1st of the year every year. Citi sends out their portion in a paper statement in February. If you have the Executive Costco membership that rebate comes near your renewal time. I use it to pay for my Executive Membership and then run out the door before Costco takes their $100 min spend in order to leave their warehouse. J/K Costco!

Good Luck!

For me it's been roughly every 6mo or so +/-. YMMV but I've had cli's been between $1.5k - $3k. Edit add: All SP's so far.

Interesting fact. Today marks 3 yrs exactly since its launch.
