Re: How Is City Simplicity?

As many have said before YMMV with Citi ! I was denied the simplicity with a 680 but approved for the much tougher AAdvantage with just tad lower utility tha bumped my score about 40 pts.

Re: How Is City Simplicity?

It's garbage. No rewards anymore, not that they were every any good. Apparently I was grandfathered in with mine with Extra Cash (now EasyDeals) which is a half-step above worthless. I recommend using your inquiry elsewhere.

Re: How Is City Simplicity?

It seems similar to the Chase Slate which people primarily use as a BT card. Neither have any rewards.

Re: How Is City Simplicity?

Yeah, it did p*ss me off.
Especially because...
It was the most horrible recon experience ever! The CSRs can't do shiz...Lol the Lady in the EO was nice; she followed up w me every couple of weeks! All of the CSRs are pretty ....ill-informed.
If it weren't for the 18 months 0%, I wouldn't ever get a Citi card..
Also, they pulled my report TWICE even though I sent them an updated copy and a note that specified I did not want another hp on my report.

But I'm going to max it out with a bal xfer in a couple months... Hope they like that ;-)

 They declined me (didnt even give me a small limit; had zero inquiries in the past 2 years so clean record). Then they double pulled me and I had to call them like 5-6x to even get the recon, all because they didn't like the $1200 balance I had on my AMEX charge card (which was long paid off). In the meantime AMEX gave me $7k and Chase $3k no questions asked.

 

Only reason I bothered was the 5 TY points for amazon/dining. Great now that I have it though.

PNC Points Visa $3.3k (5/09), Amex PRG NPSP (9/10), Amex BCP $19.7k (10/12), Chase Amazon $4.8k (10/12), Citi Forward $7.5k (11/12), Chase Southwest RR Premier $8k (3/13), Discover it $4.3k (11/13), Citi Double Cash $18k (PC'd 9/16 from AA Executive 7/15), Chase CSR $12.2k (9/16)
