How do I reach Citi Simplicity customer service?

The Citi Simplicity credit score requirement is 660-700 or better. There is no official minimum credit score needed for Citi Simplicity approval, to be clear. But most Citi cards require “good” credit or better, and most reports from people who got approved for the Simplicity Card suggest 660 is pretty much the cutoff.… read full answer

Then again, some users report approval with scores as low as 660, while others report denials for the Citi Simplicity with scores as high as 720. So you never can be 100% sure whether you’ll be approved just by credit score alone. Plus, your credit score is only one of the aspects Citi will look at when making a decision on your application. Your debt, annual income, and any past negative marks on your credit report will also matter.

The best you can do is check your score and only apply if it's 700+ in my opinion.

Your Citi Simplicity approval odds are highest when you have good or better credit. Good credit is often defined as a score of 660 to 719 but your best bet is to apply with a score of 700+.

Info on Citi Simplicity approval odds:

• Higher odds with 700+ credit score: Check your credit score before-hand to see if you’re in a good range.
• Use Citi’s online pre-qualification tool: Pre-qualified offers don’t guarantee approval. But you have around an 80% chance of approval as long as nothing negative has been added to your credit report, like a missed payment.
• Check your credit report: If you haven’t checked your report in a while, do that as well to make sure everything is accurate.
• Update Financial Profile: Citi looks at your credit report, plus your annual income and monthly housing payment. You can update this info online, at citi.com/updateincome/, or by calling 855-209-8556.

If you don’t think you’ll qualify for Citi Simplicity, you’re going to have a tough time finding a credit card with lower requirements that offers 0% APR. But a card with 0% for 6 or 12 months is probably easier to get.
