Well, my impatience combined with the general vote of confidence from this thread led to me applying this afternoon...

...

...

and I was approved!! With a $21,000 limit!!

I almost can't believe it!! I'm done. DONE! To the garden I go! (It's silly, but I'm so excited!!)

Thanks SO MUCH for all the input!

Hi all,

I just applied, and was approved for, a Chase Freedom card! Problem is, I also want the Chase Sapphire Preferred. I don't want to go "app-crazy" especially since both cards are from Chase. I'm wondering how long I should wait to apply. I'm happy to sit in the garden for awhile and use my cards responsibly - this is the last card on my wish list so I want to make sure I do the right things to get it.

My other cards and limits are as follows:

Chase Freedom, juuuuuust opened - $17,000

AmEx Blue Cash Preferred, opened one year ago - $18,000

Victoria's Secret - $1,300

J. Crew - $2,170

Express - $1,380

The Limited - $1,400

CareCredit - $4,100

EQ FICO - 701 as of 5/23

TU score - 826 as of 5/23 (from transunion.com, not sure if that's FICO or?)

EXP VantageScore - 746 as of 5/23

AAoA - 5 years

Thanks for your input!

I got mine after 9 months with the Freedom. At 5 months, I got auto-cli from them on my Freedom. 

With your profile, I think you can GET IT NOW!.

---

I agree! I think that with the OP's credentials there's a very good chance at approval now.

Edit: Sorry I just read through the whole thread and I see there was an approval after all......CONGRATS good lord thats a sweet CL!!!

AFAIK they won't for 13 months.

Anyway, OP: mucho congratulations!

I'd be over the moon personally with that sort of approval; or at least in my case, getting into likely my very best bottle of scotch in the cabinent at the time for a mini-celebration.

sorry to high jack the thread a bit, but...did they use the same pull for both approvals?

[joshuapd1987]

Congrats, OP! Nice CL!!

[erinlobster]

@djc1puno - Not to sound stupid, but I'm pretty new to paying any attention at all to my credit reports.

How do I find out if they used the same pull?

Do I need to order a credit report, and if so, how do I know which bureau they pulled?

I'd like to know the answer myself!

i had a similar question to your post.  (thinking about apping for both CSP and freedom after reading all the posts.)  

it would be awesome to get two cards for one HP.  

anybody with experience on this?  

[kilj0y]

Chase pulled Experian for me.
