Evening, all!
Doing some gardening, I requested a CLI for my Citi Diamond Preferred card. The SL has been at $3,000 since I opened it a few years ago and today, I was successful in a whole $1,000 CLI, bringing it to $4,000. This was a soft-pull increase and was auto-generated for me. I was allowed to request more, but it would have been a hard pull and I'm not that interested in it. I have a Costco Visa from them that I'd use much more. I'll probably come back in 3-6 months and try again.
Interestingly enough, in the past, it'd ask me for what I wanted as a new CL on the inital form, this time it didn't. I assume that's an indicator of possible pre-approval.
They used my March 27, 2018 Equifax FICO Bankcard Score 8 which was 678. Their FICO scores are 2-3 weeks behind the listed date. I could have in theory waited until 2-3 weeks after April 27 and had better results, but it's no bigs.
Nice increase!! Congrats!!

Congrats.
Any reason why you keep this card? Maybe PC it to another card. No use other than a BT card. I had it and closed it over a year and a half ago because of the 1500 SL.

Frankly, no. For a long time it was my highest limit card. Now it's absolutely in the middle. I don't know if Citi will do something like this but I had pondered having them move my CL from this card into my Costco Visa and closing the account.
Congrats
Congrats on the CLI; SP increase are the best
