I was going to apply for a card with US Bank but when I got to thinking about it, they would probably deny me again, so I went to look at Citi's cards. The main page had an offer to get $200 for spending $1500 in 6 months with a Double Cash, and I know those offers don't usually last, so I spun the wheel. $7600 from generally stingy Citi is not bad and they even gave me the lowest APR. This is my third card with them. I'm going to have customer service add my Double Cash to the TYP pool so I can get 2.22% and I'll start using the DC when I need virtual card numbers. 4/24, $70K HHI with ~$22K non-taxable, pulled TU and EX (I don't know why Citi does this but they always double pull me and it's always those two). This card put me over $250K in total credit limit. :dance:

Nice 8-) I recently got to $200k. Seems like more than I need, but, you know, each of those cards needs a little cushion. If I make a big purchase on that card, I don't want it to ding my utilization too bad.

lol a big purchase for me is like... $1K when I buy my annual new phone lol. I definitely don't need all this credit but it's fun to collect.

The Double Cash used to be the only game in town available to most people for 2% back. Now there are others offering 2% back and a SUB, so I guess Citi has had to step up their game.

Congrats on the approval, but :o on the superfast reporting. I'm perma blacklisted with Citi so I'll never experience their reporting again.
