Citi DC CLI after activation

Activated my card last week with a SL of $6.6k. Went for an online CLI yesterday, asked for $25k, and got $15k. Not bad, for right after activation and only $250 in spend!

Nice! I'm waiting on my DC card to get here. I'll probably do the same thing.

Grats. Just keep in mind the CLI will appear as a separate HP.

Thats nearly identical to my increase experience except I started with $6k Smiley Very Happy Congrats!
HP was worth it imo.

Re: Citi DC CLI after activation

Anyone know if that would work with Simplicity?

 

i got a $5.6 but I'm going to actually use the card so need at least double that to keep my utilization in check 

 

when end do I CLI?  Do I wait for the card or do it now?

If you're going to do it regardless, I would just wait for the card to activate it. Otherwise you'd probably have to call in. I did it online to get my CLI.

Cmikul Im pretty sure you can do the online increase request with any Citi card. Whether it works depends on your profile. I waited for the card. If you already have an online account set up you could do it now.

YAY, So glad to see you actually asking for the full $25k that I highly recommend everyone to ask for unless you should actually be asking for like $35k or something.

Great results!

Yup, works for them all... once you have online access for the account, you submit increase, it will ask if you want to send it to manual review and ask the amount again... put in $25k again and click submit... usually takes just a couple hours if during hours to get a response to log in for a message.

Thanks, I'll try once the card is in my hands and I can create a profile. It's my first Citi card.

Really just wanted it for the concert tickets
