smart move!

i used mine for about two months and then it became useless even with its promo apr period, because i paid off my vacation sooner than i predicted, and once i seen how bad that reward structure is, i stopped using it, too bad i spent almost 4k on it for a vacation which i should have used a different card and gotten a good amount of points/miles out of it,

I already had the DC and i didn't want to convert it to hilton card as i would not qualify for the 40k bonus points, so closing was the only option for me,

 

BTW: they won't pc it to any card unless your 0 apr expires. whether its 12 or 18 months

I guess thats an awesome deal!

i just like to use all my points at once or a big majority of it, i had accumulated thousands of it and wanted to reedem them for somehing great, so not being able to for a long time only frustrated me, but don't get me wrong, its an awesome card for the 0 apr! i had 18 months with no interest, however i only used 3 of them and even closed it before it even fully expired lol

I have a couple of citi cards and one of those is Diamond preferred with a limit of 4900. Since the rewards system associated with this card is completely useless to me and quite annoying the way it works, i decided to try and move the credit line onto my double cash back card and close this one. First thing i did was call the EO office because i did not want to talk to a CSR (which are completey useless) but i was then told i should call the number on the back of my card, as they are for last reserve only. so i guess i had to start from the buttom, i called the number on the back of my card and spoke to csr and told her what i wanted to do with my cards, she said she can close the card or request a cli but in no way she can move the line and said citi does not do that, i then requested to speak to a supervisor, once connected, i told him my story and he said he can only move 2900 of the limit from my preferred card onto my double cash card since the minimum of the diamond card has to be atleast 2000, i said thats fine. he asked for my income and said a report might be pulled in the process and then told me it could take a couple of hours and i'll hear from him again.

 

couple hours later i loggin and see my doulbe cash back card limit increase by 2900, and my diamond card decrease to 2000, however it still does not say its closed,

 

so i guess it worked, but i might have gotten a hp to accomplish this and lost 2k of my credit line since all couldnt be moved which is fine by me.

 

I hope this is of use to anybody who is thinking of trying to move cl around with citit, its not like barclays or chase which are super easy, with citi is alot harder as they wont move all the limit and require a hp,

 

I will update later if i see an alert for an inquiry on my report which will reset my gardening date Smiley Sad


I think they fed you a bunch of bs, personally.


yupp, think so too


Nope, this is how Citi works. It is one of the most challenging ones to reallocate CLs and for the most part HP when doing so.  BofA only HPs but can move entire CL.  Even by their EO, some can get really fortunate in accomplishing most of these CL reallocations (some without HP) but YEMV


I was declined by Citi for Diamond.  Wanted BT offer.  I called EO and they got me apprived for $1K.  I said not worth it.  They asked if I wanted to move some from my Simplicity.  Then they moved $4K to Diamond.  I called back today to see if they would just move all of it to Diamond and close Simplicity since BT offers are expired and don't need it.  We will see.

Barclays US Air $17K| TTCU $15K| Citi Diamond $10.5K| Discover IT $9000| CapOne $2K| Best Buy $2K
