Chase Did It Again! 8/24 and 9/24 Instant Approval!

Anonymous — Sat, 09 Feb 2019 21:47:34 GMT

I have had the Chase Freedom for 8 months sitting at a $7k limit. It saw barely any use outside of the SUB, maybe about $30 a month if lucky. The categories just weren't right!

I was sitting at 8/24, when less than a week ago, Chase gave me the green checkmark offer for the Sapphire Preferred! I wasn't sure, because I was 4 cards too high to apply, but knowing the knowledge of MyFico, I went ahead and ran my phone # and income through, and BAM, my highest limit ever at $20.9k!

Oh no. Today I paid my rent with the Preferred and wanted to see my completion progress towards the SUB, when I signed in to Chase.com at the dinner table....

Green. Check. Mark. For the Freedom Unlimited!

I thought about it for the rest of the day. Would they really approve me again? Was I at my Chase exposure limit? I knew if I didn't apply and the offer went away, that I would have to wait 2 long years to apply again...I had to scratch the itch and...

BOOM! $18.1K in approval for the Freedom Unlimited!

My two highest limits were given to me in the course of 3 days from Chase. I just can't believe it! My total exposure with Chase is now at $46k, and constitutes half of my limits available from all other banks I am with!

And just like that, I completed my Chase Trifecta at 9/24! Wow!

Edit: Not even 24 hours later after getting the Freedom Unlimited, the Green Checkmark offers are back for ROUND 3!!! I think I'll hold off this time, I don't need two Unlimiteds!

Congrats!

I am debating myself on applying for a pre-selected Chase Slate card. I already have a Chase Freedom at $1500, I'm at 6/24 right now, with 23% overall utilitization (only $175 on the Freedom card) and 674 FICO, I'm encouraged to maybe pull the trigger and apply for it after hearing your story.

Congrats again!

Great story, tyler. Boom! Love it. Congratulations! to you on two excellent approvals.

Question: Did both cards require a double HP (TU EX) and what were your scores?

Yup, unfortuntely, since they were split 3 days apart, I received 2 HPs on TU and 2 HPs on EX. But hey, I'll take it for getting these cards outside of 5/24!

Congrats!

Is there a trick to getting the green check mark?

I don't know what the secret to getting a green checkmark is. Mine just showed up for the Sapphire Preferred. However, my income had also doubled, so I reported that to Chase upon getting the green checkmark. So that might have influenced the second checkmark for the Freedom Unlimited.

However, now we have a whole new can of worms....the green checkmark is back for round 3!

I guess it means they want me to apply for another one?!?! This is absolutely crazy to me!

Definitely don’t go for another one. Chase has a history of closing accounts when you go for two at once, three would definitely be a problem.

Congrats on the approvals though!
