Instant Approval for Chase Hyatt

[isoldmyatlas]

Hopefully Barclay's doesn't yell at me for opening a new account when they do my 6-month review in January.

I've been toying with the idea of closing my SW Rewards card when the annual fee comes due in March - the sign up bonus was fantastic but I'm finding that Southwest flights aren't very cheap out of my city, so I'd rather be using my Barclays Arrival card when it comes to flights.  However, my SW card is my only Visa Signature card - and I really love the siggy benefits!  Very helpful when travelling.

So today after closing my Amex Green, I pulled the trigger on the Hyatt Visa Signature and was instantly approved!  A free night every year is definitely a better perk than 3000 Southwest points per year...that doesn't even get me a one-way ticket to most of the places I visit   I applied through Hyatt's website so the first year's annual fee is waived.  In March I'll probably close out the Southwest card and move the limit to my Amazon card.  I don't mind paying an annual fee for Visa Siggy benefits, but I at least want the yearly "perk" to be nice.  I also considered CSP but I won't spend enough to meet their sign-up bonus, so that was a big downside.

Anyway, I'm excited!  I was approved for $7000 and I'm very happy with my experience with Chase so far...even if Southwest's rewards are kind of a bummer

Hopefully!  Especially since I will be using it as my main flights card.  Still not sure if I will renew it or downgrade it next year, though.

Congratulations! Seems like that card is getting some luv on the board now.

I should also mention my approval specs in case anyone else is thinking about this card.

All of my cards were reporting a 0 balance except for Barclays with an $800 balance, so overall utilization is 2%.  No baddies.  3 other accounts opened in 2013.  AAoA 10 months.  Chase pretty much always pulls EX in my state so I'm guessing they went off that report, which had 7 INQs, 2 of which were from earlier this year (the rest are from 2012).

If you still want a CSP and need some bonus spend relief, app in the branch and it'll go down to 2k needed in 3 months

This card is my #1 on my card list. Congrats hopefully they never discontinue this card.

No Chase locations in my state, unfortunately!
