I'm starting a small business, so against my previous stance (app free until 2014), I applied for an Ink Plus WE MC the night before last. I Initially got the 7-10 message, so I called the recon line yesterday morning. Spoke to a really nice representative who stated that I had reached the amount of credit ($34K) that Chase was willing to extend to me at this time...He did however allow me to move credit around on my existing cards, and approved me nontheless for $5K. I had more than enough credit on my existing cards, and I'm more concerned with the earning power of the ink plus, so moving credit around was no biggie. Now to figure out what to spend $5K on within the next 3 months to earn the 50K bonus...So now I'm "officially" back in the garden until 2014 
Lucky. I offered to move credit to open the card and they still said no 
. Enjoy the card.

Thanks! I'm really excited...Out of curiosity, how many chase cards do you have, how long have you had them, and what are the limits?
Yeah, Ill probably apply next year. With 23 inquiries on Experian, I really need to stop applying, haha. I really just wanted the bonus and no interest; inventory is expensive. Im still jealous of your lines though 
Nice going, Congrats!

Don't forget You get 2x points on gas and 5x points on office supplies, internet, land line and cell bills. I could suggest you feel out a local Office Depot and purchase a few VIsa gift cards using your Ink card and then spend those cards elsewhere when and where you could only earn 1 point. Just don't go to heavy on that trick and they are getting wise to it.
Also free (free!) AU cards for "employees" with the Ink. No SSN needed, they ask but you can just fill in name and leave the SSN blank and they will issue card. I have called and also filled in the request online. The AU cards do not report to your credit (just like all Ink products) and with or without a SSN they do not report to the user's report.
