The Good The Bad and The Ugly
The Good - Instantly Approved for Chase Freedom with $7,000 credit line.
The Bad - Denied Discover More (Dreaded 30 day notice)
The Ugly - Chase did not even permit me to Apply for their Chase Saphire Preferred
I celebrated hitting 800 today by going on a mini App Spree.
I am Amex Heavy (3 cards) so I have been waiting for the right opportunity to apply for some different cards.
I had opened a Chase checking account three months ago and today tried to Apply for a CSP
but the Chase Website stated their Saphire Preferred was NOT AVAILABLE to me so I tried to apply for their Freedom Card and I was instantly approved with a CL of $7,000.
I simultaneously applied for the Discover More card as they have been sending me Pre- Approvals every week for months. I received the dreaded 30 day notification.
So Chase accepted me with a $7,000 credit limit for their Freedom card and Discover turned me down.
I was unable to apply for the Chase Saphire even though I have an account with them and have 800 scores.
Discover turns me down even though I have 800 scores and have an Amex True Savings with a Credit Line of $10,000.
No Negatives
Short Credit History 10 months but Long Amex Back Date 29 years
Go figure.
UPDATE To FOLLOW
You should call Discover...maybe they just need to Verify ID? I doubt they'd decline with those scores!
+1 yes u are assuming u were denied. Congrats on the approval from chase!
I bet Discover accepted you. They may be suspicious of your FICO score though lol. Congratulations!!!!
Humbling.
I was a bit surprised, I guess I thought I would be instantly approved by Discover as they have been sending me so many pr-approval letters in the mail.
To tell you the truth I really did not want a Discover card. I really wanted the CSP.
The Discover application was filed simultaneously in case I did not get approved for the CSP or Freedom.
My overall plan was to have an Amex Charge card, an Amex Revolver, a Chase Saphire Preferred and two other credit cards.
I would then cut my CapitalOne secured card loose and get my secured deposit back
and then off I will go to the Garden locking the Gate behing me.
Thanks for Playing.
call the recon line for Chase Sapphire, they don't like opening two accounts on the same day but you can talk them into it, if you have a checking with them use that as your leverage people have reported they didn't know you had one unless you tell them. I was able to recon no problem. Got both on same day with much less score than you =)
Thanks I will give them a call.
Seems strange that I could not even get to the application page on the CSP but had no problem ith the Freedom.
I would like to have the Chase Trifecta.

i actually quoted the Trifecta lol, they said what why do i want the Freedom (i went csp first) then I said since I have checking with Chase I wanted 10/10 with Freedom and able to transfer to the CSP lol I also noted I had 50k+ in their checking

If you're interested call them. Discover is one of those companies that mean it when they send out those pre-approves. Not to mention, your scores are out of this world. Im sure a representative will go above and beyond to get you in with their great CS
