Ridiculous Citi Simplicity CLI

The entire call took about 15 minutes and I was connected with a lower level CSR but due to my FA still reporting, I was routed to a level 2 CSR. CL started at 3.5k. I asked for 8k and GOT IT no questions asked...with a HP of course but it was totally worth it!

 

Stats:

10 credit card accounts, 3 with balances

1 open auto loan

UTL:12%

AAOA: 2 yrs

No baddies

 

I can not believe the request was granted! I'm going to take advantage of my still active 0% APR promotion.

Re: Ridiculous Citi Simplicity CLI

I didn't think I'd get approved for 10k considering I only have one other 10k card and it's from BofA.  The rest of my CLs are kind of all over the place. Lol. From 3.5 I didn't want to push my luck! I'll request 10k in a few months tho. The 8k will definitely benefit me now.

My DW went from 8K to 20K with HP. I went from 13K to 20K with HP as well. It's worth it.

That's excellent - congratulations!  Definitely worth a HP.  But it does make ya wonder if you could have gotten more!  But like you said, you can ask for another CLI in just 6 months.  I got my Simplicity card a year ago and just a few days ago I asked for my 2nd SP CLI online.  I only asked for $1,500 and was instantly approved, but that left me feeling like I should have asked for more.  lol  But more can often mean a HP and I'm trying to cultivate my crop (aka gardening).

Re: Ridiculous Citi Simplicity CLI

I'm semi gardenining for now. Lol. No app sprees in the future. Just working on making my current credit better.

 

And thank you all. I'm surprised Citi is that generous! Smiley Happy)

WTG BRAVO and CONGRATS 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: Ridiculous Citi Simplicity CLI

   Was there a question in there somewhere or are you just gloating? lol just kidding. Congrats. Maybe that is why they call it the Simplicity card.
