just curious, but why do u hate chase? Did they CLD or close your account?
I'm asking just to find out more about Chase.
I did have a card they closed but I don't really fault them for it. I was on time and never made a late payment but I had fallen on tough times and my UTL was going through the roof. It was also during the downturn to boot. Don't hate them for that. I do have a Freedom card that was a former WAMU card they bought out. When they did they jacked the APR to 29.9%, again never late before or after they bought the accout. There's not a late payment on my CR. Since they've had never an auto CLI. I did take a hard for a CLI and had to go through the EO to get what I wanted. And they still won't touch the APR. 700 FICO and they still want my APR at the max. So I just use it for 0% BT offers and bonus categories when there isn't a BT on it. They treat me like a second class citizen when I've done nothing wrong. I'll never pay them a penny in interest nor have another card. I will however use the decent line of 0% offers and to make money with 5% rewards. I'll also never use it for 1% categories, they go to Discover and Amex.

Just recon it its faster and you get approved quickly.
recons work if you are on the cusp...idk where i fall and cant find any significant info on other peoples approvals to get an idea of what they are looking for/if i match that profile. and historically my recon attempts (with other cards) have never worked. apparently i am not good at them. 
not going to waste an inquiry on something that's so iffy when I have been in the garden since October! i'll just sit back and wait a little longer....
i applied for the card got denied instantly. Waiting to see what the reasons were on my letter before I decide to give recon a try.
