Don't know the rest of your stats but Citi can be sensitive to new accounts, especially in the last 6 months. I think people have had the best success when they were at 0/6

Re: Citi Custom Cash or Double Cash Cards

For your first Citi, you should really be  0/6.   

Subsequent Citi approvals are more lenient in my personal experience.

Re: Citi Custom Cash or Double Cash Cards

I agree with everyone upthread^

0/6 for best odds of approval.

 

I have had a couple Citi denials over the last 4 years.

So I PC'd my old Citi cards  ...

 

They could be taking in to account my overall Citi exposure? ..IDK?

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

I'm not sure if the question is which you should pick, or what the approval odds are but, yes, go for it and as far as which one?  I guess DC if you don't already have a 2%+ uncapped everything card and CC if you already have a 2% card.  GL.
