My CITI AAdvantage Executive WEMC was opened in October 2022 with $30.5K SL, reconned to $35.5K. SP CLI was previously approved after six months to $42.5K, a $7K increase. Attempted a soft pull CLI and was approved for additional $7K increase to $49.5K. That same $7K CLI increment has been reported by other members on this card so it seems to be fairly consistent absent very heavy spend. My spend on the card was as high as $7K in one statement period but usually much less.
My CITI AAdvantage Executive card limit has now quickly passed my much older CITI Costco limit which was just increased to $45K. (That card started over a dozen years ago as the AMEX Costco version.) In keeping with my general theories about credit limits, it still appears to me that, relative to the same credit profile, the large national banks will approve larger starting limits and more generous CLIs on their high-AF cards than on their no-AF core cards. Just my opinion, experience, and observation.
This CLI raises my CITI Total CL exposure to $94.5K ($49.5K AA and $45.0K Costco.) That's right behind my Chase, BofA, and AMEX total limits. *Chase 156.4 - BofA 99.7 - AMEX 95.0
As I mentioned in the CITI Costco thread, I've been gardening since August 2023, which might have helped me to get this CLI approved. I've read that CITI sometimes will deny even CLIs on members who have recent excessive credit seeking.
Very nice bump, congratulations!
Congratulations that is very nice approval, enjoy it all have fun at it.
