Question
I just opened an accoutn with citibank with 0% interest rate but they gave me a paltry credit limit. I asked to reopen and merge an older closed account with a much higher limit but they refused and said to wait for 6 months. Is there a way around this garbage. Is it because of the 0% thingie.
Answer
I doubt it's because of the "zero thingie".
Most credit card companies determine the credit line independent of the interest rate, and will rarely increase a credit line until it sees good behavior on the account you opened.
Why was the old account closed? How old was it? If you closed the old account just so you can open a new one, you probably shot yourself in the foot.
