Gonna need some info to answer your question.

What are your scores?

How long have you had it?

Have you ever missed a payment on it?

Have you ever had a returned payment?

When's the last time you asked for one?

What are your derogatories?

When's the last time you had a derogatory?

Are the derogatories updating?

What's your individual utilization?

What's your aggregate utilization?

How many inquiries do you have on each bureau?

How many inquiries in the last 12 months?

How many inquiries in the last 6 months?

How many new accounts have you opened in the last 12 months?

How many new accounts have you opened in the last 6 months?

Others might have more questions.

@razzy116  you have a thread in General Credit where our members asked some questions. If you want them to continue helping, you'd want to participate in your own threads. 

Starting a few every day, but seldom coming back to them is not how it works. 

Here , since you have multiple threads there, too.

I believe its 6 months depending on when you received your shell card. Shell is with Citibank and at times they can be pretty stingy!! Good Luck!

Asking any time in the near future would be a waste of a hard pull.  I would aim for scores at least 720 prior to asking for a CLI on any CBNA managed account, preferably with no negative items still reporting.

Thank you K-in-Boston, i"m going to save this post so i can go back to it from time to time and i"ll do this to all the cards i have. Thank you and be safe.

Since this is a citi card could i get another citi card after i pay off the 2 collections i have with citi? Thank you and be safe.

Theoretically you could get every Citi card. In reality, it depends on your profile. Wanting to app for every card under the sun will stop it from happening.
