Congrats pizza, but be careful. Citi can turn on you and shut down accounts and they can be stubborn to work with. 


I know Pop...I remember your post. Thank you for being concernedSmiley Happy   I will tread carefully from here on out, using it pif, and no more apps for two years. My EX was feeling jealous and wanted a few more to catch up to EQ,LOL


No problem. I didn't think Citi would care that much about me applying for two store cards from them in a month but that's how I got screwed over by them and I've still have never been able to get my accounts reopened with them.

 

I really need to see what's going on with the AA app though that I did a while ago. I got a bizarre denial reason because of the closed Forward account and I wanna see if they can overturn that.


They shut you down for two store cards? Stupid...


Yeah. I had their Forward card as my first card, took good care of that for well over a year and went for Best Buy and Home Depot the same month and tried a CLI on HD and a day after, all of my accounts with them were closed. It's a lesson to never get too attached to any creditor. They can turn on you in an instant and that's why I have other alternatives and haven't had those issues since.

well, we shall see then how they liked me apping for TWO store cards 2 days apart, AND asking for a CLI same day as HD approval. Im treading on thin ice, lol...The only thing that is keeping me "ok" with my creditors is my 1% util showing, and I think my high credit lines on a few majors. eek...Idk...I guess Ill see too..

Understandable. You've come a long way since your BK. Did you consider trying to get back in with Chase through recon?

I did, because its the "store card" version. I thought Id have better luck at applying for that instead of the MC.Smiley Wink


You would... because their co-branded cards and their major CC's are totally different.

 

Getting in with one doesn't mean you'll get in with the other... especially if you burned them. 

 

$0.05 off a gallon assuming you buy 45 gallons a month still doesn't touch Sallie Mae and other 5% rebate cards.

 

Grats though.  Smiley Wink


oh I know its no guarantee and they are totally different in UW, but It has to help hopefully, at least on a recon maybe. Having their store backed cards for a few years in good standing, and your overall files are in good standing since the BK should help some too. Its nice to have back ups I guess....
