CiTi DC SP+HP CLI SuCCESS!

[credit_endurance]

It had been 6 months to the date since my last sp cli request with them had been made so with no further adue hit the button and recieved a whopping $1k increase from $3,500. I was approved for this card  last June during my rebuilding process so got in the door with a $2k SL and 23.49 APR. Last attempt 6 months ago after the sp increase I let them off the hook by not requesting a hp for additional wiggle room. Not making the same mistake twice, immediately requested $25,000 total and a  hp on the report. Got the 24 hour for a decision is made message so went about my day. Checked my emails this afternoon and there it was an email from CiTi granting my request for the full $25k!  So all told, went from $3,500 to $4,500 to $25,000 all in less than 8 hours. This one was well worth a HP!.

Pretty estatic about this one as I had them on the chopping block many times over the year. Now to work them on reducing the APR which a rep has already put in a request to have my account reviewed again for.

Few data points: averaged about $200 spend a month with recurring bill pay set up. PIF each month.

Fico score at the time of pull was 740 ish or thereabouts

Only 2 inquiries this year on EQ

That's awesome!!!

I've mentioned this several times about taking the HP right after the SP. Most folks will whimp out and take the $1500 SP increase. Lol

A big congrats and one heck of a CLI to boot!

Income must be decent to get that high with Citi.
Congrats on an incredible cli with them.
Citi has been a thorn in my heel since 2012 when I got my first card. They refuse any cli for me,even with a good.
They obviously like what they see. Incredible

@Gmood without a doubt I remember specifically your posts regarding CiTi and taking that hp to get a more sizable increase. Now this is something I can definitely worth with moving forwards thanks so much my friend for your inspiration.

BC, congrats on that HP CLI!  I will be following in your footsteps the first week of November when I hit the 6 month mark with Citi.  I too will be doing the SP+HP combo, so it's great to hear about your success here.  I am a bit surprised that with using less than 10% of your credit limit on average that they'd increase your limit that much.  I've been using about 40%-60% of my limit each cycle, so your success using a small percentage makes me feel pretty solid about going big on my request as well.  My plan is to ask for $30k.  Also, do they pull your EQ Bankcard 8 score for the CLI request?  Does anyone know if they provide you with your score at the time of the CLI approval?
