Got declined based on credit report info. Guess i'm stuck till i get my stuff all cleaned up. Still at prime+2.9% which is okay. Thought i would try. Just a heads up, dont try if you have negs on your report. its a waste.
I have a lot of negatives right now and I just got 1000.00 increase on my Citi Visa, but my husband got turned down--go figure. I did the requests online. am
Re: annmarie Can you give me a profile of your reports? how many chargeoffs? How long of a citi customer? thanks. just trying to learn their game.
Re: Citi Increase Sorry to hear that Sam, my hubby got his. We used the online method also, and got the 7-10 day response. Check back an hour later and the 2500 increase was there. Now our new limit is 12500. That's service.
Sam.... They may *tell* you that they will not increase your APR but you'll know for sure via a letter in the mail. So if you don't get a letter, then you're cool.
Re: Sam.... no biggie to me really. They have yet to make a dime off my apr. I'll keep you guys posted. I'll send them a message every week asking what my apr is gotta love their contact center
Re: Momof3 Thanks Lady C, was thinking of this for hubby but he still has one negative, even though they approved him in the first place they will probably deny for increase. Mom
Re: Momof3 I applied for an increase a couple of days ago and the online system said "High Balance". My balance has been $100 and less for the last two months, then she would not give me any reasons for it. Saying that I must have had a high balance in the past. NO $##%^@^, but that was two months ago. I think I will stick with USAA and leave Citibank alone!!
RE:Sam My last "bad" thing was 09/99--settled credit card. I also have a charge off utility from 96, a collection from 96-all paid. I was over the limit from Citi for the last several months but in the last month I paid about 50% of the bill-about 1600.00. I've had my Citi card about 7 years--only got a 200.00 increase like 6 years ago. Until I read this board, I didn't know you could just call up and get one!
