My Quest to Obtain the JP Morgan Reserve [UPDATE PG.2]

[alkaline]

Wow, nice! Keep us posted! I remember the time I tried to apply for the Palladium and was declined... If this works out for you, I might have to try again with this card

Keep us posted OP. I've accepted that card once from one of my customers and it really is nice.

Just an update: I had no luck with the initial fax that I mentioned in the OP. I got this letter a couple weeks later:

However I called around to a bunch of Chase Private Client banks and finally found a lenient banker to help my cause. She filled out the bottom of the app (pictured below) with the required bank ID info that I guess you need for the app to even be considered. She also gave me a new 'official' fax number that replaced the old one that was abused.

I am waiting for a decision from JPM/Chase and will provide MyFICO'ers with the following:

1) The new official fax number

2) The bank ID info to put down the bottom of the app

Sorry to keep you in suspense but I don't want to ruin this final chance by making the info public before my app gets processed.

I'll update you guys, should have an answer this coming week. Wish me luck!

How many banks did you call? Lol. I called 3 banks asking for it saying I'm "CPC" but they all said that only PB clients can apply ><

Just wonder what additional benefits this card offers to you? Other than good looking?

Good luck.

Is PB the same as JP Morgan Private Client?

JPM PB is targeted to the people that hop on a gulfstream V to getaway for a weekend at their home in the Hamptons 

CPC is targeted to the people who have their kids in private school and dad drives a 7-series BMW

You see the difference? 

I called about 16 banks before finding someone that shared my vision for the future where I get to explain why this shiny metal card sets off alarms at TSA checkpoints.

It's got that unobtainium-esque mystique and the JPM customer service makes AMEX look like a Cap1 call center.

I'm lucky I held on to my JPM Select card.  I have no relationships with Chase other than having three of their credit cards.  When I applied for the C$R, for which I was approved, I called to PC my CSP to a Freedom Unlimited to maximize UR points.  It's a good combo with the C$R.  The guy I was talking with on the phone noticed that I had a JPM Select, and that Chase was discontinuing this card.  He them asked if I'd like to PC it to the new JPM Reserve.  I said "sure, why not".  He read the terms and conditions over the phone, and a new JPM Reserve was on my doorstep in two days.
