Got the check, deposited. Got the card, activated. CLI button came back, SP, hit it and got from $200 to $450.. 

How often can I push that button? Whwnever it sais "We will not obtain a credit bureau report to evaluate your request"

OK I look and it still says "We will not obtain a credit bureau report to evaluate your request".

Hit it again, $700!

Hit it again $1,200!

Holy crap! Is this bad? Should I keep hitting it?

OMG I kept pushing the button till it is over $10k !!!

$10k!!!

$10k!!!

I'm stopping pushing the button for now because I'm scared a whammy is coming...

$10k is AMAZING I hope it stays and doesn't screw me somehow..

Wow! Congrats.

Usually Citi allows CLI every 6 months.

When your card turns into a diamond pref (Black) its usually a good indicator that its unsecured/unsecuring...

Citi Secured usually turns into Diamond Pref at graduation.....

Congratulations on both the finished graduation (check in hand) and the CLI...

Any HPs for hitting the CLI button multiple times though?

PERFECT timing on the graduation - get in on that sweet SP CLI glitch!

And as for the account maturation:  When you apply they maturation date is in the paperwork they send you, but the policy is that it is eligible for graduation at 18 months, however, there have been some stories of early graduation at 12 months.
I believe (I'll have to look again) that Citi's autograduation is sometimes preceded by an HP by them.

I think I might be the one that FOUND the CLI thing..

Thank you, I just checked my member benefits page and the verbiage is “within 18 months account is eligible for graduation “ which explains the people who got one at 12 months
