Whoa, congrats! How much do you regularly charge on the card? Also if you don't mind sharing, what's your income like (feel free to round to maintain privacy)?

What is the max amount Citi is known to lend out to people?
I threw out a limit increase number of $60,000 fully expecting to be counteroffered and their online machine totally granted it. My previous limit on that card was $24,900
Very curious, thanks
WOW - 35K CLI on a SP? Damn, I would have thought anything over 5K at the most would invite an automatic HP INQ.
my highest limit with citi was $42,000 and when I was approved for the executive card she transferred $11,000 to my new line of credit. The rep did ask if my new credit line was enough and I answered yes.
Hmm, citi does keep sending me invites to apply for an increase on my prestige. I hardly use is so I never thought to get it, But would ne nice to have it match or exceede my other cards.
I know citi was very generous to my dad (he had a 100k limit chairman card), but he had been a member with them since the 70s so I think citi like history more than anything. I have only had a citi card for a couple years now.
Congrats on the CL.

I don't charge on their card.
Although I had floated a balance for a few months on a Citi Custom Credit Line recently.
I'm a Citigold member if that helps, so that may be the only somewhat exceptional thing about my relationship with Citi compared to other institutions. Kind of like how private clients get JP Morgan Palladium cards with 100k limits, maybe Citigold has some undocumented perks.
I totally could have asked for more credit and been counteroffered or something, tried to recon but they couldn't guarantee me that it would not be another hard inquiry, so I told them I was content for now (which I am, just incredibly curious about the limits of my credit worthiness).

I have often wondered if the citigold was somewhat like that. I think even if it isnt proven or admitted that if the banks can see what your worth they are more willing to lend. I had a way easier time getting a mortgage with Chase than any other lending company but I have a banker at JP morgan. My dad managed with citi (how he got the chairman card) and always had his various mortgages through out his life with citi. Regardless a 60k un secured line is fantastic.
If you're wondering what Citigold is, it means you have to hav an account with them with something like an averag of 50k in it at all times. My hubs is also a Citigold member but he couldn't remember the exact amount.
I told him to get a CLI! Maybe that'll push my scores over the 800 mark.

Ok so its basically like my Jp morgan private banker type thing. He manages my liquid assets (stocks, bonds, ira, 401k etc). Keeps bugging me to get Jp morgan ritz card, im holding out for pallidum.

Yeah, and when you sign into your citi account online the site gets rebranded with gold banners and Citigold in places, and ATMs also say "thank you for being citigold", and you get special checks and a gold [colored] debit card, and there is an extra teller at citi branches waiting for you. many fees are waived too, I had to get a cashier's check of 20 cents made once and the teller looked at me weird saying that cost $10 and I responded "wait don't gold members get that for free" and even if that wasn't written down somewhere it became true then!

I kind of want a palladium but the $595 fee ON TOP having to put up with JP Morgan's private banker management fees and lackluster investment performance ehhhhhhhhhhh
maybe. It would be pure vanity reasons for me.
