Does citi combine limits??

I don't believe so unless they've changed their policy recently. Anyone have luck with this?

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

Yes, I get them quite often and I'm not a current customer nor have I been in the past.

 

IMO, they're very aggressive and not terribly picky so I don't know what their softing criteria is (my 3 scores bounce around 670 - 700).  I wish I would start to see different offers from other CCC's like Discover and Chase (I don't want any of their products but I feel like it might be a better barometer of how I'm doing than these Citi offers).

I don't know about combining limits but they are certainly generous with CLI's if you are a good boy or girl.

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

I have 2 Citi bank CCs and 3 Citi-backed CCs (Macys, Home Depot, Sears MC) and I've been getting solicitations every week for different cards.  It seems like the banks are after new blood now that they seem to be doing better and have money to lend.  Also with the interest rates inching higher it makes good business sense for them.

CCs: Chase Freedom VS 12.9k, CSP VISA Sg 13k, BofA Amex 24.5k, Discover 12.5k, US Bank Cash+ Visa Sg 17k, Macy's Amex 8k/1.5k, Gap Visa 10k, Best Buy 11.1k, Citi TY MC 10.8k, Citi AA Amex 6k, Nordstrom VS 10k, Costco Amex 12k, BofA CR VS 5k, Amex BCP 13.5k, Amex ED 5k, Sears MC 9k, HD 7k, Target 600, Amazon 7k, US Bank MC 15k, US Airways MC 8k, NFL Visa 4k, Patelco Visa 10k, Penfed PR VS 44.6k, Chase Hyatt VS 8k, Citi Simplicity 13.3k, PayPal MC 7.5k, BBVA Visa 4k, WF VS 14k, FNBO Amex 14.1k, OCCU VISA 15k, TR Visa Sg 16.3k, C1 QS Visa 11k, FRN MC 15k, HSN 4k, Saks WEMC 10k/4k, Chase Ink 18k, Arrival WEMC 10k, Ebates VS 8k, Orbitz VS 12k, NASA V 30k, USBk FP VS 21.5k, DC 30k, VirgAm 15k, Sams MC 15k, Amex Bz Gold, Amex SC 10k, BofW Bz MC 18k

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

its funny, the few times i get pre approvals, they are stellar offers and ALL of them are visa signature offers. and they dont repeat either. odd. i became a hhonors member, and just 2 months after that i received a preapproval from citi for hilton hhonors visa signature. i have not received any other offers from citi. and it doesn't repeat either. its as if they are trying to be careful around me.

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

I've been getting a ton of them - I was a former Citi member until they decided to jack my 6.75apr to 21% unless I opted out (closed) my account.  I'm tempted to apply for a card with these sweet 0% for 18month and $100 cash bonus offers, but I'm scared they'll just give me a low credit limit.

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

I applied for the Citi Diamond a couple of months ago but I had to allocate 3500 from my Citi Plat (had a 13k limit) along with the 500 they approved me for so I took it to take advantage of the balance transfer for 21 months.I also have a Citi Dividend card with a 10k limit and according to the csr I talked to through chat, I have the maximum credit limit they can give me according to my income on file which is predicated by the credit card act.
