Re: Chase Freedom denied after recon

You guys think I really should recon again? I think it's a lost cause personally.

Re: Chase Freedom denied after recon

I'd try once again but that amount of INQ's and new accounts it's going to be tough.

Re: Chase Freedom denied after recon

True but I don't beg and am a busy guy. Guess I could call when the letter comes or if I have any free time. I'm not too upset and know what I need to do to get approved in the future.

Re: Chase Freedom denied after recon

If your 10+ inq's can be explained reasonably. If some are NFCU, was that to open your account? Any for cars, utilities, HP's for existing cc? Basically , try to diminish the inq's as new cc - if that's the case. Opening a checking account may result in a Hp but its not giving you credit; look at your report and put yourself in the lenders position. Is this person looking for too much credit too fast?

Don't forget to talk up why you want their cc. 😉

Re: Chase Freedom denied after recon

I really think if you get another person you might just get approved ask for a supervisor. Chase is really good with recon

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: Chase Freedom denied after recon

I have 8 INQs(and 7 new accounts) since OCT '12, accidentally let 2 cards report a high balance with one of them being from Chase (500 out of a 750 CL) and still got approved. My limit sucks at $500 (lowest I have gotten in the past 6 months.. highest being $8K), but I'm not complaining since I'll recon that once I have the card in my hands Smiley Happy.

 

If you don't have anything else negative on your report (I only have the high UTIL from this month for 2 cards and 1 30 day late from 2 years ago) then I would try a few more times. If you get a low limit you can always request a CLI in 6 months (will have to use another HP anyway if you get denied now). GL!

Re: Chase Freedom denied after recon

its up to you.

 

if you really want the card now, you can keep trying to recon. however, chase might start you out with a 500-1000CL card for borderline approvals. it will cost you 1 additional HP for CLI.

 

since you are willing to wait as well, you could just re-apply later, and then have them start u with a higher CL.

 

Eitherways, you're gonna have 2 HPs in the end. If you're bothered enough, I would go with #1 and at least u get to build up history with chase during the meantime.
