Citi Best Buy VISA $30,000.00 ***Approval

 

**UPDATE**

I was able to call in and get the card bumped to $45,000.00

Details are posted here;

https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Card-Applications/Best-Buy-VISA-Max-credit-limit/m-p/6662997...

 

Applied, then had to call in for ID verification (#'s text to phone)

confirmed income and address, nice lady put me on hold,

came back and asked my address a 2nd time ..again put on hold.

Came back and asked what credit limit would I like?

I said one million, then quickly said JK ..how about $30K? (as that is what I seen someone I know had.)

She said; "Oh ..I see you have lots of Citibank accts." ..I said they have been good to me.

She asked what would you be purchasing?, I told her the best giant screen TV and surround sound system they offer.

Did not want to pull out the "Laptop" trick outta da hat ..Smiley Very Happy

 

Big purchase / wanted the 10% back on first day of purchases.

 

Total exposure on Citi Legacy and Citi co-branded V/MC/AMEX cards **Now** -> $173,600.00$188,600.00

@M_Smart007 how many inquiries on EQ in last 3/6 months and how many accts in last 3/6 months..  Been a rough time getting this card to new accounts or was it inquries.  gave up on it for awhile.  Thanks.  Think they have something weird in 3 or 6 months with Citi even retail.
