You can always appeal the denial, but there are lots of other credit cards with great rewards that will be available to you at that score. Can you give more detail on their response? Are they saying that your credit utilization is too high? With that kind of score, if you have other cards, you should request credit limit increases to improve your utilization (you're not carrying a balance, right? :)

Here is the response that was give to me:

Here's what you should know
The application was processed by a credit scoring system
that assigned a numerical value to various items on your
application and your credit bureau report. The
information did not score a sufficient number of points for
approval. The low scoring area(s) were:

o Your credit report shows your accounts have a low credit
limit.

o Your credit report shows too few credit references.


The reason i want this one is because I would like to gain the Thank You points for Citi.

Do you already have cards with Citi? Sometimes they don't like people having too many cards.

I do, I have one sponsored by Citi, but it doesn't work for me in the sense that it has no reward points.
