United Mileage plus Approval.... 16K

Anonymous — Tue, 16 Feb 2016 03:42:29 GMT

Hello Forumites! I have been in the garden since July 2015, and was trying to get something on Amazon this past weekend. There was an offer for the Amazon card which I took and subsequently got approved for 3K. Next day, I was traveling on United for business, which I have been doing for the past 2 months, saw the offer for the 30K sky miles and I immediately applied for it since it is being offered by chase. I got the "30 day" notice and left it alone. When I got to my hotel, I wanted to see if I could increase the limit on my Amazon card and when the rep picked up the call, he said "are you calling about the United card?", and I said no, I was calling to increase the Amazon but we can definitely address the United app. He said he couldn't increase the CL but as for the United app, he said "they are leaning towards approval and I can transfer you to the verification department". Lo and behold, I was transferred, was asked if I was the one doing the application, sent a code to my phone and bam! Approved for 16k.

Moral of the story is that, some times, things just work in your favor without you actually trying. Don't give up friends, take the chance and watch things happens for you.

Now you can just use some of the United limit to increase your Amazon limit to where you want it!!

When I had multiple chase cards and some were under $5k, I used a higher approval limit to make all the others at least $5k so they would upgrade to signature at a year mark!

Congratulations on your huge approval!!

I received an offer in mail for 50,000 miles on $2,000 spend. I've been debating if I should pull the trigger on my app day. Hmmm....

Congrats on both approvals! That's a nice SL on the United. Like others have said you can always look at moving a little bit of that limit over to the Amazon if you need to.
