  Hey Congrats!

  I would actually be happy Citi denied you.  Now you can garden 6 months and get Freedom before you app for anything else (as it works well with CSP).

Awesome job!  Congrats!

The reason Citi denied me was "too many recent inquiries", which is weird because I did the apps all within 30 minutes, and I guess 3 were showing up. Only had one HP from over a year ago otherwise.

Chase was interesting too, because I called to recon before the letter (which I found out you shouldn't do, after I did it), and they denied me. I called again after I got the letter, and they approved me. 

Persistence I guess?

I saw another post on here recently that Citi (Simplicity) denied for seeing more than 1 inquiry in the past 5 days:
