Chase Cards

SpecFile — Sat, 25 Aug 2007 19:41:09 GMT

Question. If I applied 7 days ago for a Chase Southwest Airlines and got the wait 30 day notice, do you all think it would be ok to apply for the Chase Freedom in the meantime. I should have applied for the Freedom first then converted to the Southwest Airlines card but I didn't. Just one more thing I have learned on this site

Thanks oneloveforall for bringing this to my attention.

You haven't heard anything yet, huh? I am wondering just how long will it take for me to get an answer on my preapproved application for Chase Visa. Regardless of the outcome, that will be it for me until 2/09.

Good luck!

I wouldn't apply for any other Chase cards until you get your answer from the first app. Have you called to check the status?

Called today and they said they would let me know within 30 days by mail. That's the same thing they said 7 days ago when I applied.

That's the message I got from them and within 2-3 weeks, I had a card in the mail.

HH,

Did you call in within those 2-3 weeks to see if you were approved or were you just surprised when the card arrived?

SpecFile,

I received my Chase Visa Card in the mail today! I told you I would let you know if I was approved for not. I am very happy now!

This is the last card I will be applying for until February, 2009 as I have now transferred all my high-interest balances.

Hey congrats Sandy. I'm glad that everything worked out in your favor. Still waiting to hear on mine. It will be fun checking the mailbox all week long.

SpecFile,

You are very welcome! I guess not caring if I received the card or not made it happen! I was denied a Discover and FNB Card in July, 2007 and turned around and applied for an Amex Clear, CitiUpromise and lastly a Chase Card. I AM DONE. I did receive all three of these cards at a price of 8 inquiries now under Transunion.

It's been 10 days since I applied for the Southwest Airlines Reward card so I thought I would give them a call. They said that my app is still under review and they should have a decision within the next two weeks. I don't feel good about this at all. If declined, I will go back and apply for the Freedom card which has a much higher acceptance rate.

SpecFile,

I hope everything works out for you. You are so supportive of everyone else in their aspirations for a new card. By all means wait and see what the decision is before you apply for the Freedom card. Applying for more cards can really slow the decision process down with the same issuer. I think it's the subprime and credit crunch which is making the approval process real slow. I have noticed requests for CL increases are getting slower as well.

Best of luck to you in all that you endeavor.

Sandy,

You are a very kind person. Thank you for showing an interest in my endeavors. I guess I expected instant approvals and got a little flustered with 7-10 day responses.

I am not planning on applying for the Freedom before finding out about Southwest. I just meant that I would eventually apply once I find out about current app.

SpecFile,

Thanks for the comment. Back at ya!

Oh I know the frustration in waiting. I do believe all will work out well. I always believe if things don't work well for me then it wasn't meant to be and that something else good is in store for me.

You will be fine and the card(s) that are meant to be will not be denied you.

Good luck my friend.

Yahhooo! After sixteen days, I got the call this afternoon from Chase and have been approved for the Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Visa. After answering a few questions and giving a sample of my blood they started me out with a $ 2,500 CL. Just thought I would let you all know. Thanks for all of your advice and support.
