I applied for this a week after I had applied for the Chase Amazon card and the Freedom card and got a CL of $1000.
I received a letter in the mail about my application (they were unable to approve it because there was...get this....no residence telephone. A big **bleep** but whatever). So I had reapplied then called the New Accounts department, they took the info from my new app, tossed me over to a Senior analyst who asked me about my student loans and what I wanted to use the card for and voila, instant approval for $1000. Get the 0% intro APR for 9 months and card should be here by next thursday.
Looks like just because you don't recieve an instant Approval after applying doesn't mean that you're automatically denied.
Current Score: EQ FICO (07/27/2012): 687 (08/01/2012): 688, EX (07/27/2012): 696, TU(07/27/2012: 667 (08/06/2012): 712
Many times the only reason for the 7-10 day message has been identity verification for me.

Are you a authorized user on another account? If not your pretty lucky to get $1000 dollars from chase. They denied me with 8 months credit history so idk.
I was thinking the same thing. I app'd for chase for my first card before I started on this forum because I figured "Well, I've had bank accounts with them for years, they must love me" and they basically told me to go...yeah xD
Discover did the same but I had no relationship with them so I expected it.
My sister did get the chase amazon visa as her first card though with a $2000 limit with no history, and my other sister got $2500 from them with no history.
Are you talking about my Chase Amazon Card? I'm the primary user for the card, no one else. Same for all my cards. I was a bit miffed though as to why I got a higher CL on the Chase Amazon card compared to the Freedom card. I will have to call them and find out. I would love to do a CLI on the Freedom card but heard that it's a hard pull.
