LL Bean MC from Citi, CLI = HP

[Anonymous]

The LL Bean MC is a lesser known card but it's been in my lineup for nearly 9 years.  I started my CLI progression:

BOA Cash Reward +9000

Capital One QS +3000

Citi Simplicity +2000

Discover +300 (how generous)

Mixed in all of these SP CLI's was LL Bean.  I got comfortable and sloppy and resulted a HP from EQ.  This request returned with a 2-4 hour notification.  The take away is, pay attention to the details and stay alert.

Not surprised on the HP outcome given this is typical for Citi retail CCs such as Shell, Best Buy, Exxon/Mobil, Sears, Home Depot, etc.

My application went to manual review.  I wasn't walking away without a payoff, after the HP.  I got the 14.5k CLI.

Still mildly wet behind the ears...

That is ALOT of LL Bean merchandise ..  congrats on the CLI, at least it was a positive outcome.
