I have had two Citi cards for over 10 years, not had a late payment, make salary in 2%, have credit scores > 800. Applied for Diamond Preferred card and was denied. Reason given: too many recent credit inquiries. Number of recent credit inquiries: one.
I removed freezes from the 3 credit agencies in order to refresh a home loan pre-approval and get a credit card. Took a half an hour and multiple numbers and transfers but made it to person in order to request reconsideration.
Told this was "hard stop" and denied a card. Walking away today now with an extra credit inquiry from Citi and nothing to show for it but disdain for the folks at Citi.
