I was on the phone with Chase this morning (I bank with them) and they told me I've been prequalified for a $4500 Chase platinum visa, with 0% financing for I forget how many months. My scores are TU-669, EQ-658 and EX-649. I have opened two new accounts in the past couple of months and, according to FICO, have 4 inq in the past 2 years. Depending on which score they pull, I have 1 to 2 collections but they are all over 3 years old and under $300.
I don't want to take an unnecessary hit, but I'd like to get this card and transfer the balances from my other subprime cards that charge fees. What would you do?
I got the same offer (0% 15 months, no BT fee) for the Platinum MC and I took it. It wasn't an instant approval, but I have been asked in the branch if I wanted to accept it, I said no. They sent a pre-approval in the mail and I went ahead and took it for a BT card. I have the Freedom Plus card already and I do my banking there.
Chase usually pulls EQ for me and I'm in Louisiana.
Sounds like you may get it, I would try if it will help you save on interest.
Edit for clarity- I responded to the mail offer and entered the code online. It wasn't an instant. I believe it said 15-30 days, if I remember correctly. It took a few days before I saw it in my online banking about 10 days or around that time frame.
Darn, I should have took them up on it while I was at the branch. Oh well.
More data points to file away. Thanks for posting shaygol!
You can dial 800-945-2006 press(#), press(2), (give SS#) An android will give you the status of your application. I had an approval the day after applying by phone. The voice chip gave me the details of the account terms, interest rate etc.
Whoo!!! Hoo!!!!

You are welcome and Gongrats. Keep the number handy so you can share it with others. It is nice to not have to wait in suspense for a decision if one has already been made.
