Chase Freedom Unlimited 5/24 - AU issue

Re: Chase Freedom Unlimited 5/24 - AU issue

Now the biggest question would be - does the CR that Chase receives have backdated information of the Citi tradeline showing the open date as 1994. If so I may be in the clear, but also I agree that I should build some more history with Chase before applying.

 

In your eyes, with 5 credit inquiries, how much negative impact does 1 more have? Will I start getting denials due to too many inquiries? 

 

Thanks for the help!

I am surprised that no one suggested going in to your local branch and speaking with a personal banker.  They will be able to look you up in their system and know exactly what you've been approved for.  And since a personal banker is essentially a sales job, they will try to help you get the card you want since they get credit for every sale (its called a personal value credit) which is used to determine their monthly bonus.

With the OP being under 21, I didn’t think Prequalified Offers were allowed by law even in a branch. But I could be wrong about that.

As far as inquires go. 5 is a lot to most people, but I don’t think you will get denied credit at this point for them. It’s really profile specific though. You don’t have a long history so they might not be as friendly to inquires with you as they would be with the same amount of inquires as someone with a thick file.

I tried to get preapproved in branch when I went to open my checking account but they said they didn't have any preapprovals for me. This is likely because I'm under 21 unfortunately.

None of the members here are creditors, some have worked for different credit companies so they can shed light on some things but I imagine the underwriting for a card product probably had a non disclosure agreement attached to learning it.

No one here is going to be able to give you an exact answer. It will all be educated guesses.

The CSP wasn’t designed to be a college student card. It was made for frequent business travelers ideally. Obviously other people have the product. But you might not meet the income requirement since it wasn’t designed for low income individuals.

It’s realy your choice about applying.

I would check out the data points thread for chase CSP using the search feature. It would give you a better idea of the income threshold for the card. Along with others stats. See what you think your chances are.

You can always call chase underwriting and tell them your interested and see what information you can get from them about income, history length, recent chase card approval. All to get some educated info about the underwriting for that card. You may have to call more then once to get someone to talk about it. And you may have to ask indirect questions about it to get them talking about it. Since they will probably state I can’t give out policy.

Yea I know what you mean about the CSP. I'm most likely going to apply for the CFU because that's the card I need the most right now in my wallet - stable 1.5% and also I feel like it will be much easier to acquire.

Regarding the underwriting department - I've called tons of times to get info on AUs and whether they count and they are always stingy about giving out information haha, for obvious reasons....

However, I can try and call to discuss the CFU and see if it has any income requirements or something I should be aware of. I could also probably mention that I started my relationship with Chase in late October.

I’d suggest googling chase freedom unlimited approvals. Look for the data points. Also there should be a mega thread dedicated to that card with Lots of data points.

Side note to reference of under 21 not receiving pre-qual offers:
My daughter is 20 and has offers currently showing for CFU and the CSP (green checkmark on Chase site). Has been that way for about a month. 15K part - time income, in college. Have had the CF for 10 months. She will not apply for anymore cards considering she has 4 that she already don't use at all (afraid of credit). Scores all in the 760 range. Posting this to say, it's possible to receive Chase pre-qual offers under 21.
Current FICO 8s: Ex 768, Tu 741, Eq 741
Current FICO 9s: Ex 775, Tu ?? Eq 781

Re: Chase Freedom Unlimited 5/24 - AU issue

Wow! She's lucky to get offers from Chase like that. Is there anything in specific she did? I'm in the same situation - Part time 15K income college student. I have the Chase Freedom (3 mo) - SL $3,400. Do you know what hers is?

 

Hoping I get a Pre-Qual soon. 

 

Thanks
