Just wanted to give an update and thank you all again for the help! After deliberating I applied for the Chase Freedom card and was approved with a 2k SL, and I also got a CLI from BOA to $7,500!!
Decided it would be best to get the Freedom card first especially because this month is 5% on restaurants. It would also be easier for me to hit the spending for the bonus for CSP closer to the holidays. Any recommended time frame on how long to wait before applying for CSP after using my freedom?
