Hi, I used the Citi chat feature today, and was able to obtain APR reductions on my go-to rate for purchases on my 2 DPs from 19.24% V to 17.24% V (Very interesting as Citi seems to be more open to reductions over chat vs. over the phone, lol.) Was j/c, does anyone know when would be a good potential timeframe to try again, to see if they could lower the rates further; for example, should I wait 3-4 months, and then try again over chat at that time? Thanks!

Hmmm how long have you had the cards? What verbage did you use via chat to get the decrease...?
Im very curious because I would love a decrease in APR.
Thank you in Advance.

I got one of the DPs in 12/2014, and the other in 1/2015. IIRC, I just asked Citi over chat if any of the credit cards with them (as I have 4 total open cards with Citi) were eligible at this time for lower go-to APRs for purchases. The Citi CSR then mentioned that s/he would check the system to see if I was eligible for any APR reductions, and then s/he told me on each Citi card account what my eligility was. I didn't qualify for an APR reduction on either my DC or Simplicity, b/c s/he said that DC was already at the lowest rate possible, and Simplicity was under the introductory 21-mo. 0% BT promotion, so it was also ineligible. However, when s/he checked the 2 DP cards, s/he said I was eligible for the reduction to 17.24%, and then asked me if I wanted to accept the 2 APR reduction offers, to which I happily replied yes.
Good luck & hope that you are also able to successfully receive APR reductions on your Citi cards as well! I would personally recommend asking them over chat, b/c I had already tried by phone earlier, and the phone request was a no-go, but the chat session worked for me.
