I absolutely LOVE this forum

Because of this forum, I've been able to learn about discussions with underwriters. I've also acquired two cards from all that I've learned here; namely, I was approved for the Travelocity Amex w/ a $6.5k limit on recon, and then the Chase Freedom Visa Siggy on recon with a $5k limit. Believe it or not, these two cards attained on recon have improved my credit substantially, and my other lenders have taken notice and increased most of my limits competitively. :-)

What are some tips on reconing I am trying to apply for CITI Div they are probably going to say too many inqs but my exp plus score is 726

Citi is tough, even on recon. Depends on what your AAoA is, and whether you have baddies. I wouldnt app for Citi in your case. Try a Barclay's card
