citi diamond preferred or professional card?

[Anonymous]

Hello forum, this is my first post, but I've been reading for months. I applied for a diamond preferred the other day and Citi dispatched an e-mail to me stating they needed additional information. So I called up and started speaking to a CSR and some how after "verifying" my additional information I got another e-mail the same as the other one however, this one was about the professional card I was approved for over the phone. The credit limits are the same as well as the APR, so I was wondering which one would be the better of the two? I only wanted one but somehow I was swindled into two therefore I'm forcing myself to choose. Thanks for the help!

I have the Diamond Preferred card.  It's a decent card to have.  You get exclusive offers to tickets for concerts, shows, sporting events etc. and it also earns Thank You points which you can either cash in or purchase other items with. I don't know too much about the Professional card but I'm sure someone on these forums have and they will chip in.  When you make your decision on which card you want instead of declining the other one, you could inquire from the CSR if you can combine the limits and just have 1 card.

A lot of people have been seeing major CLD on their Citi Pro cards the last few weeks. I would go for the DP instead. Unless you plan on major usage every month expect CLD.

Ah, thanks for the great advice, I think i'll try to combine the limits and just keep the DP cause of its black color and texture on the card. Thanks!
