Cards Owned by CITI

[bott6698]

I am sure many of you already know but just in case I realized these cards are all run through citibank.

Macy's Sear's The Home Depot Bloomingdales and one I didn't realize was Zales.

I applied for Macy and Home Depot and Zales and was approved for all of them by pulling my EX report.

Dont forget Staples and Office depot Citi cards too.

NOW I wonder how I can get those but was declined for a citi Visa

Macy's is run by Citi?  My inquiries say VISA/DSNB.  That's not Citi. is it?   Department Store National Bank.

They are actually a joint venture between Citi and DSNB. If I'm not mistaken though, Citi controls more of the Visa aspect of the Macy's card, while DSNB (Federated) controls the store card side.

It is generally easier to get a co-branded card (has a store name + Visa/ MC/ etc) than the straight bank card. I'm dragging around several co-branded cards at the moment. After a year of experiencing their customer service, etc., I'll trade them in for one real thing.

Unfortunately, you often can't do a product change from a co-branded card to straight Visa/ MC/ whatever, although sometimes you can.
