She advised me that they wanted to see a bit more history on the open account and a few less inquires.
I know I was out of the 65 day time limit...so maybe there is something to this new rule as I only have the 2 other execs and a chase card (so 3 inquires) in the past 8 mo or so...so not that many.

Maybe I will wait a few weeks and put a bunch of spend (that I pay) on that open account and try recon again. She sounded pretty confident there would be no reconsideration at this time...kinda like it was an easy choice for her to justify her no...so probably won't call back for a few weeks

I won't lie...I'm a bit bummed....first time I have ever been decline for any cad lol
This sounds like it could be the beginning of the Citi Exec crackdown...
