Good morning everyone, greetings from the beautiful, tropical, peaceful Andaz Papagayo in Liberia, Costa Rica. I have a quite a lot of blog posts to get to before I can share my review of this hotel, but (spoiler alert!) this hotel is amazing! Lots of pictures to come from that upcoming hotel review. Anyway, back to today’s topic at hand. Is Citi increasing credit limits on some of their credit cards for customers who are losing a Citi Hilton credit card to American Express? Short answer: I have no idea, this is just a hunch, so I may be completely wrong. I have 2 Citi Hilton Honors Reserve Credit Card, each with $10,000 credit limits, that are in the process of being converted to American Express Hilton Ascend Credit Cards. Since there is no way for me to touch the $10,000 credit limit on either of my 2 Citi Hilton Honors Reserve Credit Cards, I am going to lose $20,000 in credit limit from Citi, which represents more than 50% of my total credit limit with Citi.
With that being said, I just received the following email from Citi regarding the credit limit on my Citi Thank You Premier Credit Card. This credit card went from a $5,000 credit limit up to to an $8,000 credit limit, but that is neither my oldest Citi credit card or the Citi credit card that I use the most (this credit card actually gets no love anymore since I now use my Chase Sapphire Reserve Credit Card for all of my travel expenses).
