Is anyone else getting bombarded with Citi Pre-Approved letters

DW has received three pre-approved card offers in the mail within the last 7 days:

Citi Dividend Platinum - she applied, approved instantly 2000+ CL

Diamond Preferred - applied two days after the Dividend card, also approved instantly but lower CL

 

both with 0% for 18 months, 13.99% after that and no annual fees

 

Today, when the Dividend card came in there was another envelope with the 3rd preapproved offer.......

Citi Simplicity - also 0% for 18 months with no annual fee.14.99% after 18 months   

Can't convince her to app for this one though - says she won't app again until she gets a preapproved offer from somebody else like Chase or Discover..... 

 

Citi CSR apparently was not  kidding when he said Citi didn't care how many accounts a person has with them.

 

Kinda jealousSmiley Wink - she's getting prime card offers all of a sudden after being AU on some of my accounts for about 6 months. I'm rebuilding - still getting the offers for 300 cards with outrageous AF's... two so far this week..

Re: Is anyone else getting bombarded with Citi Pre-Approved letters

Yup. I keep getting them for the card I have, as well as American Airlines card, and the Citi Dividend card. I get at least 2-3 times a WEEK.  I also get bombarded twice a week with Discover.  Citi and Discover send me mail every single week.

My parents both have Citi cards and they get about 10 of these letters (each) every week pre approving them for the same card they already have.

+++(1?) to all of the above.

 

Citi likes good customers, for sure.  They figure they might as well corner the market before anyone else gets to them.

 

At least, that's how I see it.   I've 3 Citi cards already, and they still send this stuff, almost weekly.

My wife gets 2-3 a weeks too. I was getting them for a while when my score was in the mide 700s.

 

It seems when your score is in the mid 700s they bombard you with pre-approvals for prime cards all the time unless you opt-out.

Re: Is anyone else getting bombarded with Citi Pre-Approved letters

Yea, I also get 3-4 per month and balance transfer checks twice a month. I currently carry two cards with them also.

A Divended plus and Forward both over 7k. If they really want to give me another one I will probably apply next year.

Does citi combine limits??
