EX FICO at the time was 662 (Recent medical collection in dispute)

50K avios isn't good enough to get me to risk another Chase app.

Even 100K avios is debatable. 70K+ UR Would do it though.

Im obviously not doubting the screenshot, however, I thought there was a hard minimum of 5k on the BA card as they are all signature cards - They've changed this requirement im guessing?

Im guessing he hit his internal limit.

Congrats to him on the BA approval!

I've got this card on my radar for the future as well.

And no, BA doesn't have a limit. Friend of mine got approved for BA with only $3k limit.

They did have a min limit of 5k back when I applied... in 2005/6? - good to know though

Actually, since Nixon usually gardens for about a month (and has that EX on ice?), I believe he is living precariously through others apps, even if it means bringing the parents in (jk)

Congrats to Dad.

I don't push anyone I know to app for anything they don't want.

And yes EX is frozen.

I know you don't, since any prompting I've seen, usually follows a post of should I, which means they want it.

And I've even seen you dissuade a few. Though I personally don't understand the BA value, because I haven't seen then mentioned around SEA much. Hope Dad gets his value worth.

It's fun to spread the knowledge around to help friends and loved ones! You're a good son, Nixon! Congrats to DD!! (This does not strike me a vicarious living...I think they meant that word instead of precarious?)
