Amazon Prime Visa via Chase, denied?

I was recently denied for the Amazon Prime Visa Rewards card for "not enough accounts opened long enough to establish a credit history," so says a letter from Chase.

I'm 26 and have my Bank of America Visa Signature since 2009. Never missed a payment and have used it for at least $10k worth of purchases. I also have a Macy's credit card. Using their credit rating system I scored a 865 out of 900. Is this that hard of a card to be approved for? I thought I'd be a shoo-in.

This seems to be the easiest Chase card, as far as approvals

You should absolutely recon this denial - based on what you have stated, I can't see a reason they wouldn't overturn the denial. Use the backdoor number in the sticky and call Chase Lending

Total CL $398600, plus car and RV loan.
Ooh. Ooh. Getting closer to that $500K mark!

If all you have are two accounts, your file might be too thin for them, regardless of how long they are open. GL on the recon

I would defiently try to recon with them and try to get it overturned. Just sounds like a generic denial from a computer.

I was approved at Chase for the FU and I only had my secured Disco. If OP has an 865 FICO 9 he shouldn't have any issue.

 

Good luck OP!

I agree. Recon this and get your approval.

You should definitely recon because there is an excellent chance you would be approved.

Re: Amazon Prime Visa via Chase, denied?

That sounds very strange. Are you using your exact same name? I know some get married and start applying under a different last name and this can cause issues. Your profile seems fine...I would do as everyone says and recon.

Call and recon, what does the letter say your score is? Chase uses their own risk model.
