I plan on traveling once a month for business starting within the next 2-3 months so it would be nice to have the CSP.<BR />Also what seems to be the approval criteria?

My scores are EQ 686(chase pull), TU 700(barclay pull), EX 667(Amex pull).<BR />Aaoa is 1.3 years.

How many inquiries?<BR /><BR />I don't think you will get approved for csp with your current scores. It's best to wait for 6 months to a year and also try to improve your scores in the meantime<BR /> Thu, 18 Apr 2013 21:57:00 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/How-long-to-app-for-csp/m-p/2075085#M576521 Anonymous 2013-04-18T21:57:00Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/How-long-to-app-for-csp/m-p/2075097#M576522 Oldest account right now is 3 years next month. Highest limit is 3500. Chase freedom limit is 2k.<BR />I figured I might be dreaming, but hopefully my scores improve and with good history on my freedom they will approve me.

Chase likes to match limits, rather than to be the first lender giving you your highest CL.<BR /><BR />Keep your freedom in good standing and you definitely will stand a very high chance in 6-12 months from now.<BR /> Thu, 18 Apr 2013 22:04:29 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/How-long-to-app-for-csp/m-p/2075103#M576524 Anonymous 2013-04-18T22:04:29Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/How-long-to-app-for-csp/m-p/2075133#M576530 In 6 months my BCE will hopefully be 9k with the 3x CLI. And I will ask for a CLI on the freedom then too.

I had also had a Freedom stuck at less than 2k for years. My scores at the time were in the very low 700 range and under. They also raised my CL ony Freedom to 7.5k at the same time. I have a paid tax lien and a 6 year or so AaoA.

I called back door for recon and was deny as well but the nice analyst suggested that I get one account to have at least 5k limit.. Also he suggest that I let the freedom age abit so it shows how we handle one of their cards.

But I had a long aaoa and some old accounts so that probably helped that being said they like to match in general keep that in mind. With a bunch of new I'd wait 6-12 months then you might get a better starting limit.
