You can check your Citi credit card application status either by using Citi’s online tool or by calling customer service at (888) 201-4523.
Citi may ask for your application ID, zip code, phone number, birthday and/or Social Security number to confirm your identity. It usually takes up to two weeks for Citi to reach a decision on your credit card application. If approved for an account, your card should arrive within 14 days of the decision. Citi does not offer expedited delivery.
How to Check Your Citi Credit Card Application Status Online
- Visit Citi’s status check page.
- Input your application ID and zip code, or your phone number, zip code and birthday.
- Click “check your status.”
- Receive your Citi application status on the screen: approved, denied or still pending.
To check your Citi credit card application status by phone, just call (888) 201-4523. Press “1” for English and, then, press “2”. Lastly, enter your Social Security number. A Citi representative will give you the status of your application.
In the unfortunate event that your Citi credit card application ends up being denied, you can still ask for reconsideration. The number is (800) 695-5171. It’s a long shot, and you’ll have to prove your situation is better than it appeared on your application. But there’s no harm in trying.
