Chase Amazon Prime $35k

imaximous — Sun, 17 Jul 2022 21:08:10 GMT

Applied last week hoping to use the $200 SUB on Prime Day and my app went pending

I called the recon line to see if I could expedite the decision process, but after getting transferred a couple of times, they told me they couldn't review my application on the spot because it needed to go through a second review, and they didn't do those over the phone with the applicants. I kinda pushed a little more because of Prime Day, but they said they couldn't help due to the amount of credit already extended to me.

This morning, I got an email from Amazon (not Chase) saying that my application was approved with an initial limit of $5k and a link to add the card to my Amazon account. I figured they'd reduced the limit of one of my other cards to get that $5k SL. So I checked all my other cards first and they were intact. Finally looked at the new Amazon card details and it showed a $35k limit! I was NOT expecting anywhere near that amount.

Pretty happy they didn't reallocate any credit to approve this card, but I did miss using the $200 gift card on Prime Day. Oh well...

I enjoyed being under 5/24 for close to a year, but now I'm right back at 5/24 with this approval. This is card #5 in the last 10 months or so with Chase (4 personal and 1 business).

I think I'm gonna get rid of the Amex Amazon card now.

Congrats! I got approved last week, as well, with the same SL and was just as surprised.

Congrats on your approval too!

When they told me they had to do a second review because of my current exposure, I thought I was already tapped out with Chase. I was truly expecting a tiny limit or a credit reallocation. And yet, they gave me an ever a higher SL than my last approval, which was $31.9k a couple of months ago. Not complaining, though...

Congrats!🎉 I believe that's the highest SL I've seen on that card.

If getting the $200 SUB is important to you, you can probably pursue that with Amazon or Chase (I believe that would be Chase instead of Amazon, but I could be wrong).

Thank you!

I probably didn't explain that right. I did get the $200 SUB. Gift card was already applied to my balance. SUBs are typically based on the day of application. What I meant to say is that I wanted to use the $200 gift card to buy stuff during Prime Day, but because the approval came through a few days after it ended, I wasn't able to. Sorry for the confusion!
