Re: Chase slate or freedom?

Freedom over slate bc Freedom earns rewards and just about every recent slate approval ive seen has come with "toy limits". The slate is supposed to be a great BT card but i meant honestly Chase, who wants to BT to a card with a 2k limit or less, which seems to be the CL's they love giving out in that card lately.

Someone posted the other day that their partner got $9,000 limit. Not a toy limit to most of us but it was his/her's lowest limit.

 

Slate if you want to carry a balance and BT(0% + $0 fee offer). Freedom if you tend to PIF and want rewards.

AMEX: $25,000, CSR: $10,000, Chase Priority Club: $1,500, Freedom: $5000, Freedom Unlimited: $1000, Discover: $21,000, BoA $11,000, WF Cash Wise: $5000

Slate is mainly a BT card. No rewards. No benefit. I'd go for the Freedom.

Re: Chase slate or freedom?

@Swifttone, your right, i completely forgot about that one. Most definitely not a toy limit. But in fairness, that's the largest CL ive seen given out on that card in awhile.

Re: Chase slate or freedom?

I got a $17K limit on it, but that was about 8 years ago.   Now I have no idea why I applied for it! 

 

Later I applied for the Chase British Airways card, and as I hadn't been using Slate, they closed that card and put the CL on the BA card.  (Since I wasn't FICO-aware at that time, I didn't ask about PC, HP etc, and now looking at my credit report it shows as two cards, don't know if there was a HP as this was more than two years ago).  Closed the BA card last month.

Dang. You could have PC'd it to a Freedom and gotten some good rewards :/ How long did you have it without any activity before they closed it?

 

As of 2017, rebuilding...

Re: Chase slate or freedom?

Looks like 6 years or so (I just forgot about it).  They didn't close till I applied for the BA card.
