Approved for Citi secured!

I went ahead and bit the bullet last night, i tried the pre-qualify trick with the all the major card companies and turned up goose eggs. I want the double cash card, so tried to get the secured card to get my foot in the door with them. I already took a HP & AAOA hit getting the capital one the other day so figured I would try to get both now and let them age together. I didn't really want another secured card but hopefully this allows me to establish a good relationship with Citi to get that Double Cash card!

 

I will be gardening from now on, my long term goals are:

 

Discover IT Unsecured
Citi Double Cash
Capital One Venture
Amex Blue Cash

Off to the garden now Smiley Happy

Re: Approved for Citi secured!

Thanks everyone! And @Jag73 do you know if they are pretty good about letting you go from secured to DC?

When I graduates, it will be the same card essentially (DP and different color) except it will be unsecured. I have read reports of Citi doing product changes, so it possible you can PC to the DC.
