Is Citi's 6-month CLI rule firm?

I was turned down for a CLI by Citi because I'd had a CLI less than 6 months earlier.

 

Is this rule firm?

Re: Is Citi's 6-month CLI rule firm?

I did my semi annual CLI requests earlier this week for my DC and Premier at what i thought was the 6 month mark. I must have beeen off by a day or two on when my previous CLI's were, so I got the message that it had not been six months yet since my last increase.

 

I waited a few days, tried again and the CLI increase went through.

So it's not only firm, it's rigid Smiley Happy

Very much so!

 

I thought my last cli was 9/1 of last year, so at the first of this month I tried....and failed. Waited until Monday, and was approved on both.

 

I'd wait it out a few more days, I'm sure you'll get it then

I would say yes for the most part. In December I was able to get a CLI on my Premier at the 3 month mark, but that hasn't been my usual experience with Citi.

Yes, they are firm at the 6 months.  I tried a day before and got denied Smiley Wink.... tried again two days later and they added $3,000.  I chatted them and the CSR I spoke to advised to do the first day following the 6 month mark to be sure.
