Do you have to live near a US Bank in order to app?

Im pre qualified for some nice cards they offer, but I live nowhere near a US Bank.. apparently they arent big on the east coast? Anyway.. If i app for a card online and i don't live within their footprint, can i still get the card?

My denial letter from them said I live outside their area in North Georgia, but my wife has one of their co-branded cards so go figure....

it depends.

For the Cash+ you need to be within their service region. for the other cards such as Flexperks, I think they are available to all customers.

 

JPMorgan Palladium (100k), AmEx Platinum (NPSL), AmEx SPG (46k), AmEx BCP (42k), Chase Sapphire Preferred (47k), Citi Prestige (31k), Citi Thank You Preferred (27k), Citi Executive AAdvantage (25k), JPMorgan Ritz-Carlton (21k), Merrill+ (15k), US Bank Cash+ (22.5k), Wells Fargo (12k), Bloomingdale’s (12.4k), Chase Freedom (5k), Discover IT (5k).

Some of US bank credit cards are are only for the customers live in their banking areas. You can apply any of co-branded one.

There is a phone number you can call and you can apply for one no matter where you live. Give this number a call and just ask to apply. I did so, I qualified for Cash+, but they didn't approve me for a limit high enough needed for the card. I can convert what they sent me after a few months as long as I can get the CLI they said...

 

1-800-285-8585

 

Maybe this doesn't work for everything? I don't know. It does work for Cash+ though.

Some people get a CSR that will take an app for Cash+ over the phone (some CSR's wont) but quite a few people end up getting a different card. Goodluck!

That happens if you aren't approved for the Cash+ (usually if you can't get a CL of $5,000 or more). If you can't get that one, they automaticly send you the lower level card. Once you have a relationship with them, use the card they give you over time, and you're able to get a CLI of $5,000 or more you can then convert over to the Cash+ card.
