Moving credit lines on Chase cards

[Anonymous]

I have the Chase Freedom with a 3k limit that I've had for over 9 months and a Chase Amazon Visa with a 2500 limit that I've had for 2 months. I recently opened Chase checking account over a month ago to take advantage of a bonus offers and I want to establish a relationship with them other than Credit cards only.

Long term goal is Chase Sapphire Reserve, but I need to build up my score a bit. Ultimately I want a Freedom Unlimited prior to getting the reserve because I want the Freedom and Freedom Unlimited to be cards that I do majority spend and transfer to the Reserve portal. This makes rotating categories a 7.5% and the Freedom Unlimited a 2.25% cash back card. I'm 10/24 but only plan on checking for Freedom Unlimited Pre-Approval in branch. That being said, can I actually move some of the credit line from the Chase Amazon Visa to a new card to improve my odds of being approved in branch if that's what it takes or will Chase not move Credit from a Co-brand to a regular Chase brand?

I just recently moved my Chase AARP limit to Freedom without any hassle but I had the AARP for about 10 months. I dont know if you have to have a card for a period for a certain time to move limits around, I'm sure others will chime in.

You can move limits immediately but if you wanted to close account it has to have no activity for a while otherwise you can only drain down to $500. Can be accomplished with one back and forth secure message from your banking login, no talking on the phone, not even a chat room.

I was able to transfer limit from my United MPX the day it arrived (to Freedom), and when I closed it (to CSR).

If you're closing it, make sure the balance is 0 with no pending transactions.

I don't plan on closing it because the 3% amazon cashback will be useful to me. Just moving most of the balance to either the Freedom or Freedom Unlimited (if approved).

I moved 10k over to my Unlimited card bringing me up to 30k. I still have 10k left on my Marriott but I just might dump it altogether. I don't need all that credit limit anyway.

Has anyone ever moved a limit over and kept a Chase card at $500.  After time, then called and asked for a CLI on the card with the $500 limit?
