For Citi, you should be at least 0/6 Inq.

Re: BT Card - Citi Simplicity Or Wells Fargo Reflect

Got a 20K SL ~100k income with little debt beginning of last year with Wells Fargo. Got a 9.1K sl with Citi two months ago with that Wells Fargo card maxed out (close) and they weren't able to give me a higher SL. Citi Can be stingy on clis? 

I wish I avoided the transfer fee with a CU

Re: BT Card - Citi Simplicity Or Wells Fargo Reflect

Thanks for the reply! I'm going in this understanding that the main purpose of this card which ever it is, is to have a little cushion to pay of this amount. 
Just not sure which one to go with? I'd hate to apply for tge Citi card and get denied, then apply for tge Wells Fargo card. That would be two inquiries and hard pulls. 
Should I just bite tge bullet and go with the Wells Fargo even though it's a 2% Difference. I'm pre approved for tge Wells Fargo Reflect card?

I was preselected with Citi and got it. 

you'll have to tell us more about your profile to get a better idea, otherwise nobody can properly advise.

2% isn't nothing to sneeze at.
