I finally got it!!!! Citibank approved my 999th application for credit and gave me a $4,800 cl! My first real card that I didn't start out at a limit of $1,000 or $1,500! Thank you Creditnet and all of you awesome creditnetters!!!! On a side note...my scheduling meeting was adjourned for 30 days while we "are in the process of settling this action". I'll email those of you whom I have spoken with privately about giving a deposition when I know more. L
Seriously how many times did you apply and what was your score and what did they pull and one more thing please, what state our you in. I am so excited for you and cannot wait to add that tradeline to my life.
I don't remember exactly, but it must have been between 8 and 12 times. Each time I applied I tried to do the bdd, so that's twice each time I applied. They pulled Equifax and my score was 682. I'm in New York. Hang in there! You'll get it. I was really thinking they would NEVER approve me because I've seen others posting that they were approved in the low 600's and I couldn't get approved when I was at 672. I guess 680 really is the magic number. As a side note...when I dropped down to two inquiries on Equifax, my score went from 657 to 682. When I had two more inquiries, it dropped back to 657. Wow!!!! Platinum, I got the AAdvantage card and I'm not sure of the terms. They did tell me they don't offer fixed rates right now on this type of account. L
Congrats Whyspers!!!!!!!!!! Do a search for the "301" phone number, negotiate better terms (regardless of the terms they give you), ask for a CL increase BEFORE you activate the card, tell them you were thinking of BT some of your "other" cards.
I agree!! Way 2 go Whyspers!! Who knew 999 was the key! If you hit 1000 you get a free upgrade to Platinum Select!! Seriously Congratlations. -Peace, Dave
