I called chase to see if I had had my freedom account with them a year and I had. IMy balance was really low as well. so I apped on line. I was approved instantly. But for only $500. Which was no help as I was getting the card for the BT deal. I asked the custo service agent for a CLI. She said it would be a hard pull this time as opposed to the soft pull for the card app. It was tagged pending and she offered to transfer me to another agent to negociate a CLI. The new agent gave me $5k CL just like that!
The hits just keep on coming.
I love you guys and this forum. I would have never been able to get where I am without it.
Congrats! Glad it worked out for you.
No they only did a soft to approve me for the card since I have an account with them. The HP was for the CL negotiation. So it worked out great.
Now to pay off my one large balance, sock drawer everything and sit in the garden for a while and feed the pigeons.
My scores have taken a beating in the last year since I got some good TL's and actually used them. It's a funny game this.

Congratulations and good luck working on that balance! Even if it was 2 HPs, the interest savings definitely sound worth it.
Try to have a little post-mortem and figure out where you went wrong so that it doesn't happen again.

It was actually what went right! Not with regard to my credit scores but with regard to a few fantastic opportunities that my cards allowed me to take advantage of. I regret nothing
Your correct of course. It's time to get back to the gardening plan that was interrupted. Maybe it's time to freeze all but one card in cups of water and leave them in the freezer for a while. One of my favorite tricks.

Congrats! You got the best card for your needs.
