I asked a week or so if having an auto loan with Chase helped with credit cards, because they have denied me 3 times previously for the Freedom. My card collection mostly fits my needs, but I would still like to have the Freedom for the categories. I thought, I've got time to recover an inquiry so why not try. Instant approval, $4500 CL. Happy dance!
I jumped on MyFico real quick, did a search for double approval with chase on single pull. I found a couple of recent chains where members had been approved for both but a single pull could not be gauranteed. I decided again, I had time to recover an inquiry. So I pulled out my most recent SW invitation (not a preapproval, just an invitation) hopped online and BAM, $6000 CL! Siggy baby! 50,000 points after $2000 spend in 90 days, no problem on work expenses alone.
I'm going to shut things down for a little while now. Just this past week, Home Depot $1000 CLI up to $5000, BOA Cash Rewards $1500 CLI up to $3000, Freedom $4500 and Southwest $6000. I might try the button on BOA in three weeks since they use the same report for 30 days. I might recon the Freedom for a Siggy too, but I'll wait and see.
My current FICO scores (probably all the same) Walmart 692, Discover 692, Barclay 692 (see what I mean). FAKO scores, Credit Sesame 681, Credit Karma 656 and Experian 690.
Thanks to all of you for the information,
