Chase Southwest Airline Rewards Card

Anonymous — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 11:29:12 GMT

Hi friends!! I just recieved approval (CL of 14K) for the Chase Southwest Rewards Visa. It does have an anual fee, but I am okay with it. The reason I app'ed for it is because I travel on Southwest a lot and I like the frequent flyer perks.

Anyone have expierence with this card.....like it, love it, or hate it??

Thanks!!

Super Congrats brooke!

$14,000 is a fantastic opening credit limit that I'm sure you'll put to good use.

I don't have experience with your card but I am a huge Southwest fan. Great airline, great

service and they look really smart right now with fuel prices as high as they are these days.

Of course, the people who fly Southwest are pretty smart, too.

Once again, Congratulations on the new card. Enjoy it!

Thanks CanDo!! I am a pretty big fan of Southwest. Fly them for Business as well as for personal travel.

I was pretty excited at the CL.

Not sure what report they pull (maybe some of the pros on here know) but my scores are all around 670-690.

Concord, surely you know by now that Chase pulls are all over the map and virtually unpredictable.

Congrats on the new card.

I have had the card less than 6 months and have already earned a free trip!

So, I am OK with the annual fee, too.

So far, I like this card. I have not had any problems, so I have not had to call customer service but I hear they are great!

Oooh, that card is one of those cards that sits near the bottom of my 'what-if' list. I keep getting stuff from SW b/c I purchased tix to Vegas from them. I just keep thinking.. No, not yet Chase.. we're not quite there yet!

Congrats!

Congratulations on your new card, and that wonderful opening credit line!!!

That card comes in 2 versions: "Signature" and "Classic." Do you know for which version you were approved?

What state are you in and what was your TU score?

I think or read somewhere your score has to be 740 to get this card.

I am in Illinois. I am not sure what my TU fico is but I know my equifax is 798.

ETA: Assume my TU is somewhere close to there.

If your EQ is 798, I would think your TU would be in the 800-810 range.

My guess was right, plus, Chase doesn't like inquiries either. Well done, enjoy your card.

BTW...nice CR you got there.

Thanks. Was only a few years ago it was low 600's. Education is key to a great credit score. This board has helped a lot!
