Re: need ur opinion

Which Chase card did you have in mind? The Chase Freedom? Based on your credit card portfolio, you should have no problems getting approved.

Re: need ur opinion

If you go with the Chase Sapphire card, I recommend applying for the Chase Sapphire Preferred for the 40,000 bonus points and no annual fee for the first year. You can downgrade later on if you don't want to pay the AF. FYI, there's a lower spend requirement for the 40k bonus points if you apply in-branch ($2k vs. $3k). You should also consider getting both (Freedom & CSP) since they make a great combo (CSP for the 1:1 points transferability, Freedom for earning UR points).

 

Look here for a comparison between the regular Chase Sapphire and the Preferred version:

In my opinion, your chances look good. Hopefully, others will chime in. What's your AAofA (average age of accounts), utilization, DTI (debt to income ratio), inquiries, and any baddies?
