i first started with $400 secured citi card 2y ago, after 18 month they upgraded to citi diamond preferred card with $800 CL. After 2 y 1/2 the max i got is $1100 my vantage score is 760 ( 2018). just keeping because of credit age. They increase once every 6 month, if you request a CLI sometimes they do HP. Citi use transunion for CLI in TX, and experian for opening.

Vantage score is useless. Ignore it. So what is the BS for? You started at the bottom and have moved up as you rebuild with CIti. You provided hardly any other history of other accounts. Get your FICO with Discover Scorecard. Report back.
Curious, what is your EQ Fico Bankard 8 score which Citi provides?
FICO score card is 739
There must be more to this story than is being shared with us.
I don't think it's BS, Citi is a slow goer in general with small CLIs every 6 months. If you don't show the useage, then they probably don't feel the need to raise it too much. Also, there are other cards out there if you feel unhappy with Citi. Sometimes a secured card will never be more than a starter and essentially be locked in at low CL.

By default, LUV button will do a SP. It will be instant, and they will determine how much.
After that, if you try requesting again, I believe they will ask more questions.
