I would send some emails out just put it in writing honestly what you want to do, how you would use a certain card more if it had more room.

That is unfortunate, why can't Citi be like Chase when it comes to moving limits. 


On the other hand, Chase doesn't usually do user-initiated SP CLIs. Citi does. Every issuer's got their own quirks.

Sorry to hear about the challenges, hopefully it works out.

 

What cards are involved and which limit amounts are you trying to move?


Thanks, ideally I was trying to move $4.5k from my Simplicity card and $4.4k from one of my 2 DP cards, to my my DC.  The Simplicity and DP cards both have $0 balances, and so I was hoping to over the limits to the DC, closing out the other 2 cards

Update:  I called the non-800 EO number, but they did not want to appear to help much unfortunately, instead they advised me to contact the customer service number directly on the back of my card.  They did take my phone info though and said that I may get a callback, I guess we'll see how it goes...  Smiley Indifferent

 

If Citi remains unopen and unwilling to transfer limits, I may just start closing out the cards that are no longer  needed, and keep trying to grow limits on the others that I want to keep.  Tbh, I'm a little surprised that Citi appears to be so hard-line about not being able to accommodate these kinds of requests -- for FNBO and BoA, arranging the same kind of request was a breeze...


Citibank used to be awesome about 15 years ago or so. Now, I can't really stand them. Others have great luck getting APR's lowered or moving credit lines around and for others it takes an act of Congress to get anything done. I wonder if it is because you are trying to transfer the credit line from a Simplicity card. I know they don't allow PCs from it, so maybe this is also true with their credit lines.

Update:  after talking to a Citi cc manager 2 days ago, I was able to get my DC CL increased to a new total of $15,820.00, by successfully reallocating about $7k from my Simplicity and one of my 2 DPR cards to the DC  Smiley Happy
