and not freedom? freedom points can be transfered to CSP for 25% travel bonus which would put discover more on the backburner imo

total credit limits $108,400 Credit scores Ex 728 EQ 738 TU 758

I was just approved for 5,000 CL which shocked me but I think it's because I bank with them. I hope Discover will  raise my CL now.

Hey TyLey if you don't mind me asking what cards did you have, what were their credit limits and how long have you had them before you applied for the chase sapphire preferred. Trying to see if I'll be approved or not. 

Utilization information would be great also!

I got a Chase Freedom in August and really want this card because I'll be traveling. Do you think it's too soon?

I also got a BCE in October... but I only have four cards.

What do you guys think?

Capital One Platinum $750 (3/11) | Macy's $2K (1/12)
Chase Freedom $4.5K (8/12) | Chase Sapphire Preferred $5K (11/12) | Amex BCE $12K (10/12)
TU: 751 (10/1/12 - Amex), 747 (5/23/12 - Transunion.com) | EQ: 718 (10/1/12 - myFICO)
Gardening since: 11/12/12

Congrats

I'd say it is very likely that you would be approved. Maybe one thing would be to age your bce at least 6 months

If Chase is having a hard time approving him for the CSP (i.e. if Chase only gives him $5k), I highly doubt they'll extend him additional credit beyond that limit.

On the other hand, if he gets approved for >$5k (and the delay is caused by something other than limits), he can always shift limits around to open a Freedom.

allright good job now get some more credit cards quick
