Can i go into Macy"s chat to request a credit limit increase and ask for a upgrade to the Amex card?
Yes, you can ask. I would expect a straightforward resolution for a CLI request and a response along the lines of Citi decides for themself if and when to offer an upgrade from the store card to the one that uses the AMEX payment network.
Citibank does support having 1 of each card type so if you really want an AMEX you can just go head and try to apply for one as well and if successful choose to close the store card.

You can log onto your Macy's account and request a CLI there. It is a SP so you should get an immediate answer on the CLI. However, you can not request an upgrade to the AX version. They offer it to you when they feel the time is right.
Thanks

@razzy116, You can apply for the Macy's Amex card,
while you wait for your store card to upgrade to Amex. (This is what I did)
Most don't realize that you can have (2) Macy's Amex cards.

I got approved for the store card first, then applied for the Macy's Amex,
Then they upgraded the store card to Macy's Amex.
I did teh exact same thing with Bloomingdale's ... except the CL's are not $25K each on those.
Citi has capped my limit across all core and co-branded cards @ max aggregate of $96,100.00 $99,100.00
(edited: to correct my error of total Citi aggregate CL)

So, if you upgrade from the store card to AMEX you can't do the 31 day increase anymore?
Should I just app in store for the other Amex since I upgraded already? (@ 5k, the button was there so..)

hi @Whitneyy , If you take the upgrade offer (you can't request) from the store card to the Amex.
Getting CLI's are no different on the store or the Amex version. they both grow! (except at the $25K limit)
Applying in store will probably yield a higher SL according to DP's that I have read ..
@CreditCuriosity applied in store and it yielded "Macy's Amex Approval - 8k SL" starting limit.
I applied online and it was a lower SL, but grew really fast! My initial>> "Macy's Amex Approval"

No wonder they call you mister Smart. I guess I should be dumb ass LOL
Well I followed you and this is what happend;
I asked for a CLI on my Macy's AX card yesterday, it was at $13,000 I asked for it to go to $20,000 for an increase of $7,000. They countered back to $16,000 so I just accepted it. It was a SP. In 31 days I will try try again LOL. Thanks for the advice.
