Citi Bank Double Cash card

[Trooper2003]

I'm not eligible for membership, I think you have to be military or be on a employers list to get in with the credit union to be able to apply for the card.

Do you know if AOD is inquiries sensitive?

Citi denied my brother on that exact card despite only 1 recent inquiry. (first inquiry in 2 years for him).

They approved me, but at a $500 CL (absolute minimum), again with only 1 recent inquiry...

We both have fairly good credit scores. Ironically, his was actually a bit better than mine at the time...
