Re: Is this verbiage from CITI indicative of a hard pull?

Yes, it is. The language is different and will explicitly state that there will be no hard pull with instant decision. Logged into my wife's Premier to show you what it looks like

Re: Is this verbiage from CITI indicative of a hard pull?

Yes it is as @simplynoir said. In the time since I have had my Exxon Credit Card 2+ years. I have only received one auto cli from $500 to $700. I have requested a cli in the past I think twice and it is always a HP. I sd mine and might let them close it. My DH also has one and when he has applied for a cli in the past it's always been a HP too.

My experience with the Exxon card is hard pull for cli's... I received instant decisions to $2,500 limit, when I tried to get more I get a prompt to call a number... the people I have spoken with all have made statements that sound like they can't understand why anyone would need more than $2,500 credit limit on a gas card.

Just FYI - this type of splash screen is not typically displayed on Citi Retail cards.  The above is specific to Citi legacy cards (example above for Premier).

 

@collics -- most Citi Retail cards are going to be HP when you submit for a CLI request. This includes Exxon/Mobil, OfficeMax, Home Depot, Best Buy, Shell, etc.

@FinStar  One of the reasons I love this forum and why I always peruse through the posts is informative data points such as this:

 

"most Citi Retail cards are going to be HP when you submit for a CLI request. This includes Exxon/Mobil, OfficeMax, Home Depot, Best Buy, Shell, etc."

 

In the not to near future I know I will be going for a Home Depot or Lowes credit card and will want it to definitely grow but now that I see that all cli requests on a citi Home Depot card could generate a HP they are 90% out the picture.

Add Staples and Meijer/Meijer MC to this as well, as ALL of their CLI requests are HPs (per their phone rep).

In my wallet: Apple $5,000, local CU $15,000, Bread AMEX $5,000. In my sock drawer: A few other cards Smiley Happy

Admittingly too lazy to look Smiley LOL OP, are there any perks for the Exxon Card (Cash back, etc.) that make it worth having?
