    Anyone know how easy Citgo is to get? Are they Bankruptcy friendly or not and who do they pull in Texas? I went to the Yahoo site on who pulls what but could not find Citgo anyone know?

    Thanks,

    Dunno about BK, but my wife got one with less than 1 year credit history. But CL = $200 only .... Pulled Equifax, I think ... we're in NJ

    Hope that helps.

    I just got a pre-approval for a Citgo card. The interest rate is out of sight, over 19%.

    I have a Citgo card at like 19.5 %. They told me they never lower the APR, since it's not meant to be used for carrying a balance from month to month. They figure that people should just pay it in full each month, since it's a low limit card, just designed to get you to buy citgo gas.

    Does it report to the CRAs? Does it indicate what the CL is on the reports?

    Yes it reports to all three bureaus "Citgo/Citibank SD" and states the credit line. Like another poster said "this card is designed for gas" not a revolving so if the interest rate was 50%, as long as you pay in full every month then their are no finance charges and interest!

    They won't lower your rate, but they will bump your credit line up if you've kept it in good standing for a while. My Citgo card (carry $0 balance) is about 5 years old, and I've got $450 which is pretty good on a gas card. In a pinch, you can get some food, or replace your tires if they go bad. I just like it because it's really easy, with pay at the pump citgo station 4 miles from my home.

    CITGO was very easy for me to get, with less than perfect credit reports involved.

    I got a 500/250 limit, then they raised the purchase limit from 500 to 600 just because I bought so much stuff at 7-11. And made only minimum payments, by the way. They raised me to 600 when my purchase balance was close to 500.
