Yes, That number worked for me too. Chase went from an online "we will contact you in 20 to 30 days" , to a "Yes, Thank you for your buisness" with a 3000 CL.
Give it a try and you might be surprised and if not, you havent lost anything.
Yes they work. And you can call back if the first recon doesn't work. In my experience it really depends on who you get on the other end of the call. I reconned one day, got denied. Called back the next day, talked to a different person and got approved for the Sony Card, 2500 limit. The credit specialists that evaluate you have some room to play with in their evaluations. What gets "kicked" by the system or indifferent workers can be overcome, sometimes, by just talking to someone different. Keep trying is my motto...lol. What are they gonna do? Take away your birthday?? They already denied you....lol. Might as well get your inquiry's worth...
I feel really lucky to get my chase card my scores are below 600 I have lots of baddies and a chargoff. The first 2 reps pretty much laughed at me. The 3rd asked me tons of questions then approved me for 1500.
do they keep records of who calls to be reconsidered? just wondering if they see if people have called 2-3 times and have been denied...and they see that and base their decision on what others have said.
