This all happened just day. I haven't gotten any alerts yet so not sure who they pulled this time. Will update once I know. They did pull EX when the account was originally approved though and when I requested the last increase a year ago. Probably will be EX again.
Wow! Congrats!!
Thats what i'm aiming for! I really want them to raise my limit for my CSP and my freedom.
@zeustra20: In my experience Chase tends to be very conservative with their CLIs. It took me TWO YEARS to get to $5k on my Freedom and it wasn't for the lack of trying. I had all but given up on them and I bank with them. They've got ALL my money: checking, savings, and investment accounts. No love for TWO YEARS! Things changed when I started apping with other CC companies though. Once they started seeing those other, LARGER tradelines they started giving me more love. Especially when I got the BCE and Amex started giving me love. Chase was NOT gonna be outdone by THEM! Lol. I really think that's what happened. My Freedom was my lowest tradeline and had been for a long time. But my other tradelines continued to grow. It took time but it all worked out in the end. Yay!

Well thats what i'm hoping will happen when I request a CLI. I don't want a HP right now, so I'm just gardening for now. I've been trying to get my foot in the door with Amex's revolver cards, but they just won't budge! Its like, the Charge card is all they'll give me! Its pretty irritating. I've have my Amex for a little over a year now. I JUST apped for the BCE and got denied. I also apped for the BCE 3 months ago too and got denied....amex jsut won't budge.
Congratz, was the slate recon an additional HP?
@CredittotheMax: Yep, it cost me an additional HP. I didn't wanna do it but I crossed my fingers and went for it. So happy it worked! Now I'm in the Garden for the duration. Gotta let those HPs age off (I've got way too many on my EX - seems everybody likes pulling that one).
@zeustra20: I've read here that the Amex revolvers tend to be more difficult to get and that the charge cards are easier. Give it some time. I'm sure they'll give it to you eventually. I had thought about apping for a charge card from Amex but didn't want to pay the AF. What made you go for the charge card instead of the revolver first? Or did you app for the revolver first? Just curious.
Thats awesome, I just don't have that kind of profile to recon for something higher than what I got.
Congratulations!!!
