Has anyone tried to lower their CL on the HH Visa Signature below $4K lately ?
I tried a few months ago and was told $4k is the lowest you can go on a HH Signature Visa and tried on another HH Visa today and was also told $4k.
My oldest HH Visa ( from 2011) has a $2k limit but I lowered it to $2k years ago.
I finally received a AA mailer and while I don't think $11K in credit over 3 HH Visas and one Double Cash will effect IA I would rather lower my limits further but it doesn't appear that I can do so.
2 of my HH Visa cards with $4k limits are both under 6 months old so I'm hesitant to cancel.
Thanks

In the past, I've been able to lower the CL on the no-fee Visa to $2,000 (possibly less). Today, in response to two separate requests--one on my account, one on my DW's--online CSRs asserted that the minimum CL is now $4,000. Pretty odd, especially considering that the card of mine in question is currently at $3,000. 
Am I just having a bad-hair day with Citi, or is this the new normal?

I'm not sure I'd worry too much about cancelling a card under 6 months old. I've done it many times, and I know I'm not alone.

what happens to these cards after 12/31?
I assume there still hasn't been any official announcement about what happens to these cards -- moved to Amex or converted to a different Citi product. Has anyone seen anything reliable? I have one open and my wife has one open. If they will be converted to a Doublecash, I would want to keep one open. If they move to Amex or convert to something else, I'll probably close both.

Rumors for some time have been that they move to Amex, but nothing at all official.

You assumption is correct. Still just crickets from Citi. And I see no particular reason for them to announce it in August; give it a few more months. (They probably don't want to announce it until it's more formalized as to exactly what will happen.)

So despite having a confirmation that my PC would happen, looks like it's not going to. Probably just cancel the Hilton Visa outright now.

Did you actually receive your Costco card? See my message above - I was expecting to get the Costco card and Citi just told me it ain't gonna happen (after previously receiving confirmation it would).

Well, the date I was supposed to receive my Costco Visa (PC from Hilton) has come and gone. I just got off the phone with Citi who now says that effective June 1, they have an agreement with Hilton that does not allow product changes.
So despite having a confirmation that my PC would happen, looks like it's not going to. Probably just cancel the Hilton Visa outright now.
