The banks aren't hurting. JPMorgan rises above rivals with record annual profit of $49 billion. That should be jaw-dropping to most folks. This is pure PROFIT. Net all their expenses.
I made quite a bit of money betting on the banking sector when I bought stocks in them back in 2020. I have recently sold most of those shares due to all time highs.
But, to the OP, I've charged over 50k on my Citi AA Executive Card and haven't paid a red cent of interest. Yet, they won't increase my limits, its been roughly 9 months since I opened that account. They're the only bank in my wallet that won't increase my limits. I'm almost never 0/6 or 0/12. I'm always doing something with my company that from time to time that incurs a HP. So, its safe to say, Citi is certainly inquiry-sensitive.

Virtually slap me if I apply for anything else before August 2026 and remind me I'll never get my U.S. Bank Altitude Reserve Visa Infinite (USBANK retired this card this card in 2024).
