Re: Chase Freedom Got Declined after Prequalified

I called the recon number found in myfico. Even the voice said it "Chase lending dept". Is that ok to call them again and again?

Re: Chase Freedom Got Declined after Prequalified

you could try to put things in positive light as to why you opened so many accounts recently.

 

for example, if you owe little to no balances, you can explain you're doing it for the rewards since different cards have different rewards structure and bonuses for different purchases etc. this reason might not apply to you but try to think of something that makes you look good.

 

always worth a few tries I suppose.

Re: Chase Freedom Got Declined after Prequalified

      HEllo. It just goes to show that preapprovals mean nothing. Congrats on all your recent new cards.  You just need to be responsible with the cards you have and pay the balances in full ontime and you will have great credit for a long time to come. The cards you already have are good. Just have a little patience and let them age and you will be in great shape. The hardest part can be to not charge up big balances and to pay in full for anything you charge as soon as possible. Getting the cards is a first step. The hardest part for me however was not giving into the temptation to shart charging stuff on them that I wouldn't otherwise buy and ending up in debt.. Good luck.

Awesome news on your Chase!! I think you have one less recon attempt than another poster on here.  I did it twice as well before I got my approval.  It's all about who you get on the other end of the phone that is the determining factor.  So success to you again!
