App spree maybe?

gglam12 · ‎11-22-2013

I closed on my house today and talked to a few people on here which are GREAT! I decided to apply for a couple cards. I originally wanted the CSP card and was talked out of it. I was scared I would not get approved.

Applied for a Amex BCE approved with a 2K, Then a Chase Freedom approved 3.5k. I felt satisfied called it a night. I went to watch TV and started to play on my phone and wondered back here and read about this app spree. I figured I closed on the house already and decided to hop back on and apply for the Chase Sapphire card. They approved me with a 5k.

My credit limit before tonight was 2k. In 1 night it went to 12.5k is that normal for companies to approve that much?

Amex BCE 2K - BoA Cash Rewards 5K - Chase Freedom 3.5K - Chase Sapphire Preferred 5k -
Starting score: 643
Current score: 712 (11/22/13)
Goal score: 750+

I have a BOA cash rewards and it went from 800 to 1.5k without a request last month. Should I push it?

It will be hp so if you don't mind that then you could probably double it... If not more, I'd ask for $10 and they will counter... But call directly into backdoor underwriting!
