692 - 100% ontime payments, was declined due to lack of other Credit Cards. If I had too many credit cards, would I really want another?

I have this card. They gave me a very generous $5000 limit even though I had no income, and I'm now up to $6200. They'll not only be good with rewards, they'll be good to your credit if you earn it.

When you applied for the card what was your ck score.

did you actually write down that you had no income on the application?? or did you tell them you were a student (and if so, did you have to prove it with a transcript/class schedule)? how long ago were you approved for this card? 2008? early 2009? a couple months ago?

After talking to multiple custom service representatives on both the phone and citicards.com's live chat feature, I've come to the following conclusions:
1. According to representatives, the Citi Forward card is the best card for a college student with a very limited credit history.
2. To get this card, they really want to see at least 2 open lines of credit in good standing for at least six months.
While I can see why they would want you to have experience with credit before getting their card, how can they rightfully say that the card is geared towards college students and those without a credit history if they want you to have at least two other cards? More importantly, how is a college student with limited credit supposed to have two cards and still plan to get a third?

Credit score 677, 100% ontime with a few open (long standing) credit accounts. Received the "Needs more processing" message, which means sorry no card for you.

Several people have reported approval with that message. Often if it is a decline, they will notify you as such.
