After about a year of credit rebuilding (dec 17' fico - 546).. I finally pulled the trigger and applied today through Chase Portal since I'm a Premier Checkings/Savings customer.. all I had to do was enter in my income in order to submit the app. Got an alert immediately and Chase pulled Exp which had a Fico8 score of 695. Obviously not an instant approval.. I then recieved an email saying, "We have received your request for a Chase credit card. We'll let you know our decision as soon as possible. Thanks for choosing Chase." Shortly after I called the recon line and got a robo lady saying that I should hear back in 30 days. As of 12/17/18.. this is my current status and will keep everyone posted.
Fingers crossed. Thanks for sharing!
