I've never known that number to lead to an analyst. In my experience, they are just the people who submit an application into the computer or will tell you it's processing. If it worked for you, that's brilliant.

Re: Found citi backdoor number

I called 800-7693-9795, and they denied my request.  I applied for the Citi Hilton Honors card.  ALl three of my scores are in the 700's.  Equifaqx is 714, experian is 702 and transunion is 727.  So I tried to call 212-559-1000, but it's a directory.  Who should I talk to there?

AMEX TrueEarnings 10K | AMEX BCE 10K | AMEX Hilton Honors 10K | AMEX Hilton Surpass 2K | Bank of America 1-2-3 2K | Barclay Card 2K | Chase Southwest Premier Visa 6K | Chase Marriott Premier Visa 9K | Discover IT Card 1.5K | Merrick Bank 1.4K | Navy Federal Credit Union Visa 10K | Navy Federal Credit Union navCheck 15K | USAA Rewards 7K |+ tons of store cards (GE furniture, Amazon, Lowes, Home Depot, etc)
Total amount of available credit $100K
Scores (as of December 2013) Equifax 714 | Experian 714 | Transunion 727
Short term goal is score 750+ across the board
Long term goal is to have all scores close to 800 or 800+

Re: Found citi backdoor number

Citi Credit Recon Number is 605 331 7169. I app'd for the Citi simplicity card to take advantage of the 0% apr for 18 months promotion for a purchase. The online app came Bk with an approval of $2500 which is less than I wanted. I called the recon number above and was told they cld only review it after pulling another cr. I agreed. She asked me what limit I wanted. I froze at that point and 7k bcos I was afraid I will be denied. Anyway, got voicemail today saying that my request has been approved for the full 7k limit.
Chase Freedom-3.5K, NY MCU- 500, Chase Sapphire Preferred- 5.7K, Discover IT- 2K, AMEX BCE-6K, Citi simplicity- 7K
Scores: Equifax SW- 719 (Nov 2013)

Re: Found citi backdoor number

I was able to remove an entry from Citi on my credit report using this number: 800-215-6061 It's their "probate" division. I was real nice to the lady so I could get as much cooperation as possible and she handled everything for me. Good luck!
