Credit Cards

[laracing]

Well I applied for a Chase Freedom card about 2-3 weeks ago.  I was told additional infomration would be needed so I called the recon line.  

I had to provide drivers license and ss card.  Called back about a week later: App still processing so I figured I was denied.  I logged into my Chase banking account and now there is a credit card attached with a limit of $3K - my biggest limit!

Congrads - I went through the same.  Took a call to corporate, even, to get my $3500 line.  It is now my Walmart card (until it changes from grocery to restaurants in June)

Congrats! I was granted a $3k starting limit on my Freedom card just yesterday. I called up the recon line and had them bump it to $15k. I've been very impressed with Chase's customer service so far.

Walmart doesn't count as a grocery store for the bonus.

Checking my bonus points statment, Walmart in fact does count as a grocery store.

hhmm, new one to me.  Where are you finding your points statement?

If you look at the terms of the offer, they give you merchant codes considered grocery.

Without looking, I believe Walmart is coded 5411 (grocery) no matter what you buy there.

Google the term "visa merchant codes" and locate the merchant search from Visa's site - you can type in Walmart and like 3 codes come up - match it to Walmart's code and Chase Freedom's offer.

It counts if it's a Super Walmart (sells groceries too), but regular Walmart is usually not counted.

Wow! How'd you manage that? They gave me $3k and refused a CLI on recon. Do you recall which number you called?

I called the Chase lending team at 888-270-2127. Good luck!
