So silly that this made my credit score drop 30 points. Well, maybe cancelling 3 cards in one day will make Citi think more seriously about fixing their IT systems and allowing credit lines to be moved to/from the Costco card.
Pay down your balance before your statement posts, because usually they report your statement balance to the credit bureaus. Pay down before statement and they report the paid down amount. I've been doing this since college forever ago.
