As the title states I was denied and I even had the nerve to try a recon. The lady I spoke with was very pleasant and said my score was great but I had way too many inq's especially in the last 2 years. A lot of them in the last 2 years are from my truck shopping but either way I do have quite a few inq's.
She did tell me to try again in 3 months but I'm thinking 6 minimum and 10 would possibly yeild an approval if I try again before a year. Any better ideas?

I'm sorry about your decline but thank you for the "To do" list.
Think Citi wants you to be 0 inqs for past 6 months
12 months garden would be good

Yeah that's what I'm leaning towards, I'd like to be well under 5/24 because chase has a Marriott card I've been eyeing for a while and of course the premier is on radar.

Sorry to read. This is one reason why i think scores dont really matter and are overrated. Without really good income or as in this case where a lender will look at reasons like credit seeking to decide ones fate instead of seeing them as a good risk by score, sometimes its a crapshoot
@addicted_to_credit, Sorry for your Citi Premier denial, Welcome to The Garden

Citi has a 6/6 rule for inquiries - no more than 6 in 6 months. Citi has a no more than 1 Citi cards will be approved in 8 days and a no more than 2 in 65 rule too.

Yep, looks like it was the 6/6 rule applied here. The agent's 3 month suggestion would definitely clear up the 6/6.
I see this is just the EX INQs. Citi is known to double pull so you might want to make sure each bureau is under 6/6.
@Anonymous The only HP hit I've taken on EQ with citi is for the retail side - the Home Depot and tractor supply cards. They've only pulled exp as far as what I'm currently wanting. There could be SP's I suppose.... I've combed over the other two and saw nothing.

@AverageJoesCredit i think scores are a starting point, there's a broader spectrum that banks look at especially nowadays.

Citi majors often involve a double pull but not always. There's no way to tell until you apply. The two times I was denied, they double pulled me, TU and EX. The third time I was approved with just a TU pull.
