Chase should be able to give you an instant desicion even on the weekends or holidays. I guess it might be pending because you have submtted 2 other apps with them recently...
What i would do is to call the same backdoor number (888-245-0625) and explain you applied for the Chase Amazon Visa and got a pending message. Ask them to take a look at your app and see if they can approve you..... after you're done with that.... you can calll and try again to recon the Chase Freedom.
Forget about the Slate, believe me you won't be happy with that card overtime...... You don't have any balance to transfer, and it doesn't have any sign up bonus or rewards so there's no point getting that card even when is "sexy" as you describe lit

Your closing an AMEX!?
Yeah i'm closing my AMEX green charge i'm not using it and i don't want to pay the annual fee either. I'm keeping my BCE though and try another CLI in Frebruary and see if i can up my CL to $10,000. I'm not sure they''ll aprove my whole request because income issues and my overall credit limits are already higher than my current income the last time i tried was in August i had $6000 and got only $900 but it's fine i guess it's a SP anyway and i understand that AMEX saw a ton of new accounts reporting and i believe that was the reason my whole request wasn't granted

Congrats, I'm in the AMEX club at a young age too (19), and just got approved for the AMEX BCE ($1k CL) and Chase Freedom ($500 CL) in the same week. I also have a Discover Open Road and Citi Platinum Select (both at $1k CL) from 2012.
Turns out I was over utilizing both of these cards earlier this year (60% utilization) and quickly paid them off and plan to introduce them to my newly made garden.
Good luck with Chase, I applied for the Slate and Freedom card earlier this year but was denied because I didn't have enough credit history, even though I had a Checking with them for years.
@Josh2942 wrote:How do i combat the constant limited credit complaint?
Time is all what you need to fix that issue.... I know it sucks when you're declined due to limited credit history. Two years ago i was just like you applying for new credit and getting declined for certain credit cards because of my short credit history and of course i was frustrated when i was getting denial letters and i never did recons because i didn't know you could do that until i started doing some research on internet and ran into this forum
Once you have two tradelines or more with 2+ years of perfect credit history you'll be all set and you won't be getting denial letters for that reason but until then keep paying your bills on time and avoid applying for too much in a short period of time and finally keep your overall utization the lowest you can (<10%) I know you've been doing that in the past 6 months so kudos to you for that
