if you start that citi app and close the browser, citi will launch a popup and offer 10K points to continue. you can do this again for another 5K (total of 15K).

updated original posting to answer this question about the citibusiness card.

Only soft pull CLI success was with BofA WorldPoints MC. 20K -> 24K. Discover and Citi required hard pulls to budge. Didn't want to try AMEX or USAA, as I have been fairly aggressive with CLI requests with those issuers in the recent past. Also, all reports reflect the balances in the OP. EQ Fico at 795.

Set for launch tomorrow morning.

Updated OP to reflect latest proposed apps. (Thanks to cardjuggler for the National City tip.) We'll see how many apps I actually initiate tomorrow. 27 is a bunch, although only 16 are personal.

Unfortunately it looks like the BofA 12mo/0%/No fee offers are gone. I almost applied for one of them on Friday, and I guess I should have not waited until today...

This would have been a good one for me since I already have large BofA lines and they are always good at shifting credit lines around.

Good luck on your AOR.

EDIT: uh, nevermind. i didn't click far enough. it's gone! I just tried the BofA NEA card app and it went through. It has 12mo/0%/$30 max fee terms.

updated OP with initial results from this morning's AOR. i didn't request any BTs with the apps - that may be hurting my initial CLs. we'll see what i can do about CLIs at activation.

lhendricks92 said:...spoke to BofA business credit specialist - approved for $25K - BT of $22,500 on its way to a $0 balance USAA MasterCard. confirmed there are no balance transfer fees with this card.

So you did a BT to the USAA card from BofA? How do you plan on accessing this money? I don't think USAA will allow you to tranfer the money to checking or request a refund check for overpayment. Are you just going to do another BT from the USAA card to a card from Citi and request a check from them online?

lhendricks92 said:USAA is credit balance friendly. You can request a cash advance to your USAA checking account for the amount of the credit balance. The transfer is instant. I've done this several times without incident.
What about the limit of $2500 for cash advances? Do you just do multiple cash advances until the money is transferred? What's the largest amount you have transferred in a single day? What about billing cycle?

Note: $2500 is the maximum allowed online on my Mastercard account (CL is $30k)

Some updates.

Nat City - Had to fax a signed copy of my application for the Business card. Just noticed the pulled a SECOND TU today and an EQ. EQ? I will be surprised if I get either the personal or business card now.

Chase - Sony card was approved for 14k. 5k was the temporary limit. The Business Rebate Visa was approved for 10k. Of the remaining 2 apps (a personal Marriott and a business Mariott), one has been rejected and one is still pending. CSR could not tell me which was which.

Merrick Hooters - Decided to look for a card I was sure would pull from TU, and I found this one. Instantly approved with an unknown CL.

RBS - Denied! Too many inquiries and new accounts. Should have applied earlier in the AOR.

Added my inquiries to the OP. I'm in Virginia.

You never know. An earlier inquiry might have bumped another card later in the list to a rejection. That's why, unless you have specific information to the contrary (FNBO), I generally recommend applying for cards in order of desireability.

Just for information, the $2500 CA limit is for online transfers. You also have a $5000 CA limit in each rolling 30 day period, which is unadvertised. If you call on the phone the limit is your credit limit.
