Citibank credit card consolidation
« on: January 03, 2014, 12:02:23 PM »
Since Citi does not allow you to consolidate credit cards, what is the next best option? Just transfer as much credit out and then close the account?

They actually don't do transfers anymore.

I spoke with them two weeks ago and thought they said they can dow with a credit pull. Is this a recent policy?

For the past few month they have suspended this option pending further review.

Do they allow downgrading to a fee free card?

Has anyone been able to pull of transferring part of a credit line with a hard pull?
Does Citi offer pre-authorized credit increases not requiring credit pulls?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

They increased my credit without asking.
