since my last post several months ago, I was able to get ALL the bad marks off my report (Identity Theft while I lived in Canada for 10 years)
CK has my scores at 668, 661- Fico via Discover has a score of 720
Simply Be card- 350
Chase Freedom- $6K
Cap 1 Quick Silver- $1300
Cap 1 Venture- $2k
Cap 1 Journey- $1.1k
Alaska Airlines via BOA- $2k
Discover IT- $2.6k
I recently applied for a Best Buy card and was declined the store card, but was approved for the Citi Best Buy Visa for $500. I've noticed there are threads where people call and ask for more? is this done while you're activating the card or after you've had the card? $500 at best buy isn't even the price of a surface pro (what I had been looking at when I was prompted to apply).
I do have 9 inquiries on Equifax, 5 on TU and 4 on Experian.
Thanks

Congratulations on your Best Buy approval! I requested that your thread be moved out of 'Approvals' since it's more related to a CLI question than an announcement of your approval.
I'm not a Citi expert, but I'm sure some folks will be checking in soon. I'll just say that I find it intriguing that you were declined for the store card , yet were approved for the Visa version. Usually it's the other way around... but in any case I feel it's to your advantage!
As far as I know unless it's done the day of approval, CLI requests with Citi are usually an HP. Again, I don't personally have any Citi products, so I'll defer to other folks for more specific details.
Also, good job in getting those reports cleaned up... that's an accomplishment in itself! 
Yes,, Citi usually ask for HP for CLI request,even if the rep says they don't....
