What's the purpose of a card like Macy's anyway?

Yeah, it's the one with the blue background and with the Citi logo in white and red.

I was approved for it in September. The reason why I applied for it is because Citi wouldn't approve me for one their unsecured cards and the Citi secured card was my only way in with them at the moment. I didn't want to wait for a year or two because even if they approved me for an unsecured card in the future, it would lower my "age of accounts" on my report and I would see a drop in my scores.


Smart thinking. Is it that blue and white card?

When did you get a secured Citi card?

Nope, no offense taken. I was a customer service representative a long time ago and I had the same reaction. It was like, whatever. I loved it when people would threaten to close their accounts. I would be all "sure, I can help you with that." And then they would get mad that I didn't try to save the account.

those[/I] people, because I know exactly what the person is thinking LOL.[/quote]

Man, I so do that. I say the same thing and after cursing me out theyd hung up on me. IF you call me screaming and yelling and cursing me out because you made your payment 21 days late, im not gonna remove the late fee. Yet, if you call and ask for it politely and explain the reason it was late, id be glad to assist you :cheesing:

Oh man, I'm blushing! LOL, I used to have an Abercrombie & Fitch card, also issued by WFNNB, they had an option on the phone to request a CLI, see if they will do it for you via the phone.


On my last statement a month ago, the gave me a CLI. It was sitting at $500 but went to $970. That is a $470 increase and just in time for the holidays.
