Citi and Amex Cli's

torebuild2014 — Tue, 11 Aug 2020 18:06:10 GMT

I wasn't sure if I wanted to "Poke the Bear" requesting CLI's in the current environment, but tuition is due and really wanted the cushion on one of my Citi cards that has a 0% promo right now that I wanted to take advantage of. I read the boards the last few days and couldn't get a real good feel of what to expect in the CLI space. So I decided to pull the trigger and hoped for the best.

Citi Aadvantage Platinum SP CLI - from $38K to $43.5K

Citi Aadvantage Executive SP CLI - from $41K to $46.5K

Amex BCP SP - from ~~$39K to $44K~~ edited to correct wrong amount $44K to $49K (asked for $5K)

I hope the Bear doesn't come back later and bite me for waking him, but today I'm pretty happy with the results. Good luck to everyone and stay safe!

Good Lawd....I thought I was reading about low limit cards (ya know, like mine) at first....but Dang! You're walking around in big caves with big bears. Congrats to that! All that jack you can buy a bigger weapon for that angry bear should it awake all grumpy.

@GApeachy Thank you. You're comment REALLY made me LOL.

I read the reports of new tradelines on the board, but no CLI datapoints for similar CL's. These are my largest CL lenders, although I have a couple of others for diversity. But I like these 2 specifically because of the SP CLI's and they are the only ones that I typically "poke". I honestly didn't know what to expect with the request because I think the exposure is pretty high already. But.... they didn't disappoint. Back to the cave for me for a LONG time.

While YMMV, I hope that others are able to benefit from the datapoint.

with those kind of limits i dont think you need to worry about bears thats for us small fish. Maybe worry about your license for the season but thats about it

Congrats on your HUGE CLIs! Well, what might be a modest amount to you is humongous to me. I ran out of fingers trying to figure out the total, but it seems around 16K.
