CLI and Chase Freedom

Anonymous — Tue, 21 Jul 2015 20:44:05 GMT

Sooooo... I had too much free time on my hands today.

First, despite getting my Amazon Store Card CLI a couple of weeks ago from $900->$2,000, I kept reading about how people who didn't get counter offers we're "leaving money on the table".. been stewing over it for a week, decided to say screw it, it's an SP anyways, and requested a bump to $4,000. BAM! Approved, no counter.

Part of me is really happy, and part of me is thinking "**bleep** go back and ask for a ridiculous line and make them counter". Don't worry, I'm not actually going to do that. I barely use the damn card as is. Just like the UTIL padding it gives me. Although I'm liking the new padding even more.

Secondly, after my app spree in March, I've been really sad about my Chase denial. My Amex and Discover are lovely cards, and I'm maximing my cashback bonuses, but I feel like there are a few opportunities I'm missing out on because AM/DSC aren't accepted at some of my most common spending establishments. So I've been stewing on this since then, and I probably check 2x a month (I know, OCD, I know...) on both Chase and CapOne for preapprovals.

Well, my last check-in showed a prequal for Chase Freedom only. High APR, don't care because it would be PIF every statement anyways, same as my other tradelines. But I didn't wan't to leave the garden. I wanted to wait for CSP prequal, as I want a nice travel card and could meet the spend for the points bonus. I didn't want to waste another INQ until at a minimum until I was one year out on the old ones.

Today, twenty minutes after saying "screw it" on asking for an Amazon CLI, I said "screw it what's one more inquiry"... and this happened:

My face. This is my second highest card limit, and my highest ever starting limit.

Well, I guess it's time to replace my spade with a seedling.

Congrats. I keep the BCE in wallet for Safeway, but my main goto cards are Freedom, Discover (love the rotation, earn quite the cash back even in my slow rotation), and Aviator for miles (everything else spend).
