Hey everyone,
So I'm currently sitting at 4/24 with my most recent card approvals being:
Chase SP - $12,500 SL (06/18/19)
Amex Platinum (06/18/19)
Discover it cashback - $1500 SL (07/23/19)
I have two scenarios I was thinking of either
1) Apping for chase freedom and product change sapphire preferred to the reserve once it becomes a year old so I'll have freedom, FU, and CSR trifecta. Also I would app for synchrony amazon card since I'll be over 5/24 and not eligible for chase amazon prime
Or...
2) Apply for chase amazon prime card, wait a year and still product change sapphire preferred to reserve and app for freedom (I'll be back to 4/24 next year before apping)
Overall I wouldn't app for anything until at the very soonest October 2nd due to Amex CLI being eligible and I want to have no new inquiries or accounts for when I pull the trigger for increase (last try was 30 days ago ish and denied for too many new Inquires).
My credit card goals/spend would be perfected if I acquire the freedom and amazon prime card. I would have travel, gas, restaurants, entertainment, groceries, and amazon credit cards that fit perfectly with my spend. Again this is a "goal" minded post for future months.
