To be fair, I may have been able to get back in sooner. I just never tried until early this year.

I am about to pay off two co's with chase and one with amex.  All three are with the oc and report maxed out each month and are killing my utilization.  Shows up between 50-70 % depending on cra.  So I'm hoping that I can get a decent score jump when they show 0 balance because then util will be about 5% or less.   With about 10000 in current and open credit lines.  Once these are paid off how hard and how long might it take me to get back in with chase and amex.  I know its ymmv just curious if anyone else has had any experience with this.  Also if it;s gonna be a while till their memory fades.  What is the possibility of maybe getting a usaa amex since its a cobranded card.  Would that be easier.  My scores are currently are still a little low so Im hoping they'll be high enough once these are paid off to do something.  thanks for taking time to read this( sorry so long)

Congrats on being able to pay Chase and Amex off. Just make sure Chase still owns the debt and is not in the process of selling it or serving you. See if you can get the Amex Oasis Card too.

Keep us posted

It only took me 33 years to get back in with Amex after burning them in 1982.

Another data point - I burned Chase in 2005 for about 10k and I got back in with them this year. It was a co-branded Hyatt card so I dont know if that was easier or not but at least not on blacklist i guess.

Congrats on getting the card.

did you have to recon.

You say you burnt chase.  Did you ever go back and pay the co or settle for less,  Or was it included in a bankruptcy.

I actually did have to recon for the Hyatt card bc i froze my reports so i was originally rejected and had to give them access to my experian report. 

Chase sold my debt to a collection agency and I settled the debt for about 50%.

Yes the credit analyst did ask me about the charge off and I was caught a little off guard, and i just said i was young and in college back then and was irresponsible with my money but i am more responsible now. Dont know if he was too satisfied with my answer but gave me the minimum CL for the card. The Hyatt card is a visa signature so 5k is the lowest.

Well at least they let you back in.   I been starting very low on all my new cards.  But I know as long as I prove myself it will grow.
