So as some of you may know, in November I was buying so much stuff at amazon, that I figured why not apply for the Amazon Visa from Chase. So I got approved with a limit of $2000. But I am realizing that I am not even using it as much. Not buying too much at amazon since the holidays are over, so I called Chase to ask to re-allocate that $2000 to my Freedom, but the Customer Service rep stated that I can only transfer $1500 so I needed to keep the card opened with $500 on it. No balance on the amazon card, nor was there any pending charges on the card. When I asked why couldn't we transfer the whole thing I was told "The system will only allow me to move $1500" but no other explanation as to why. I chose not to do it, and give the Executive office a call.
I spoke to this lady who stated that she didn't know if all of it can be moved, but she would call me in a couple of days. I said OK. Two days later, I received a call advising me that they can re-allocate the entire credit line from my Amazon Visa card to my Freedom and close the Amazon card, which I was requesting from the get go. So Freedom now has a $4200 CL while the amazon is closed.
Chase seems to do well by me, although they didn't give me a CLI after the 7th statement on the freedom. Grrrr.
No need to give EO a call ...(edited to finish reading your post..sorry lol) your card has to be inactive for a period of days.. either 30,60,or 90 but it's one of them. The CSR did nothing wrong. They didn't know the info.. that's Chase's fault not the CSR. I'm curious why open it and close it just to move 2k over to another card later on? You're probably still going to buy things from Amazon one day... why not keep it open with 500 and use it for fast food/restaurants for 3% back via Amazon points...?
Either way, congrats on the CLI if that's what you wanted.

Oh I get the fact that CSR only stated what the company policy is. Not blaming CSR at all. I just couldn't get any specific reason for why I couldn't. Call me OCD, maybe, but I have a hard time with "Well the system won't allow" without knowing the why.. 
As for the 3% CB on the amazon card, I get it, and I am sure I will buy more stuff from Amazon, but I am getting to the point of "Work on Credit Lines" rather than "Number of Credit cards". Hope that makes sense.

I totally agree, but there are countless posts here stating that they got the CLI. I am not saying why they didn't give that to me, but one could hope
