Chase Ritz Carlton Visa Infinite Approval

Anonymous — Mon, 23 Jan 2017 20:37:00 GMT

I applied for the Chase Ritz Carlton Visa Infinite on January 15th, and after instantly receving the "30 day message", I called into lending to inquire as to what the status of my application was. They told me that the application would be processed in the order in which it came in and that I would receive an answer in writing within 30 days.

So every day, several times a day, I have called into the automated system to check my status. The same thing; 30 days.

Today, I called into the verification (fraud) dept to see if they needed any verification from me and they said that everything was fine. They transfered me to lending, to which I initially declined, but I figured that I would just speak to them and ask if they needed anything from me as well. Everything in both departments were fine. The CSR in lending said that I would receive the card or a letter within 30 days. Same thing as before.

A couple of hours later, I call into the automated system once again to check my status and "You have been Approved.".

This is my first card with Chase. I am very happy.

The process is a little odd. The review process seems to be hitting a lot of folks in here. Good luck to all of you who are still watiing for an answer on your apps.

Way to score Tri on your first Chase card, and a biggie at that. I imagine those 30days wait periods are killer on the nerves. Seems alot of that going around. Glad you got approved , but maybe more so the agents at Chase

I was approved with a SL of 19.5k. Apparently I have a "credit access line". I am new to Chase and I have never heard of this before. I was transfered to someone in the Ritz department after I called and asked what my limit was because the automated message only told me my approval status and nothing more.

Thanks! The 30 day message is kind of ridiculous, but I am happy that it took just over a week. A lot of people seem to be in the same process that I was in.

I have made a mental note that I can always count on you to point out the obvious! *Shakes head in amazement*... One post was based on the situation (questions, input from others) and this post is explains the outcome. I am happy about the outcome!

Why be so negative? I thought we were suppose to be uplifting one another? Jealousy is a strong emotion.

Can't wait to do the same with my Amex Platinum as I heard SPG merged with Marriot and Ritz is part of Marriot?

Ritz card has the same $450 AF right?

I knew it. I mean, what does this really say, besides the fact that my credit is still pretty young, I am young, and I come here for help and advice? I think your actions say that you have way too much time on your hands, and you are probably a very unhappy person.

Don't sweat it, ppl have bad days. I make a measly 70k per year and LOVE staying at RC's (there's a certain Autograph Ireland that isn't half bad either). My GF makes about the same so we both contribute when we can escape for a couple days (which is rare as we truly work way too hard at what we do).

Here's my timeline of approval...

Day 5 - Certs and Marriott Gold posted
Day 5 - Received Welcome email
Day 6 - Received Metal card and AU card in same box.
Day 6 - Ordered plastic cards.
Day 9 - Plastic cards arrived in box.
Day 14 - Lounge club cards arrived.
Day 18 - Second set of metal cards arrived (common when plastic is ordered).
Day 18 - AF posted (varies by cut date).

Yes, it makes a lot of sense. We all have different life styles. We should certainly respect each other's.

I know someone is having a bad day, just not me. I know you are having a good day out there. Enjoy your day off.

I made around 75k last year... I make more now. I have no kids - so that definitely helps my situation. I am pretty excited and I can't wait to start using the card. I will also check out the vids. Thanks!
