I have gotten it down to 6.15% APR from 11.49% on my Citi Dividend card.

Although the product is not in market anymore.

 

I did not have same luck with Bank of America, Chase and Wells Fargo.

They refused to lower it.


BOA will reduce APRs, but you will likely need to speak with a senior analyst to make it happen.  For them, I think DTI and credit seeking have a lot to do with it.  A few years ago I was able to get down from low 20s to upper teens on my Travel Rewards card with scores in 820s-830s.  I have found it amusing that they'll trust me with $99,900 in revolving limits but not a 14.99% APR.  Smiley Frustrated
