I went ahead and lowered the CL's of my two remaining open Citi cards to $5k each.

before I apply for the second one on 3/2 (easily within the 37-day window)? Or should I leave it open until then? And is it possible to ask them to reduce the $5k CL as it's being closed, or does it inevitably get tied up as the account is being closed?
