Temporary increases to credit limit on Citi cards last up to 60 days from the date of approval.
If you don’t already have an online account with Citi, you can click on the gray “Register” button to sign up. For your Citi card login, you’ll need your credit card number, security code, and the last four digits of your social security number.
2. Apply for a New Citibank Credit Card
It could be that your Citi card has a low credit limit because of your credit history, but this doesn’t have to hold you back. As a responsible and longstanding Citi cardholder, you can qualify for another card with a higher credit limit.
