What? Something on file blocking you to Citi?

Re: How is Citi and their CL's?

I notice with citi they don't like to see high balances. I kept requesting the 1st year and they never approved an increase, but the moment I laid down a substantial amount I requested on and immediate increase. Not much but still decent went from 3500 - 4700. It did state if I wabtdc more I would have to risk a credit Check.

As to credit limit/line increases, received $1,200 or $1,400 credit limits about every three years and then denials the rest of the time. All were SP as I would not accept an HP.

Yep, Citi seems to like consistent, small spending with no balances if possible.

Forward 4k-> 5.5k

Dividend 4k->5.2k

DC 3k

 

Didn't ask for any CLI for a long time until late last year as I was not aware of the soft pull CLI. Now thanks for this forum I'm waiting for 6mo mark to ask again.

Re: How is Citi and their CL's?

If you're willing to take another HP you can probably get that CL up near 10k.

You can call as soon as you get the card. They'll put you through to an underwriter.

Should I tell them about my other credit lines that I have? About how I have substantially higher credit limits with other companies?

My Citi card started out at $4000, and I'm now up to $5400 with them, so I'd say they're fairly generous with CLs.
