*UPDATE: Approved* - Chase Sapphire Reserve App!

[Anonymous]

Yeah. I have read a ton on here and seen some pretty nice success stories, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Definitely not the smartest, but thought I'd get lucky since my credit score went up from like 655 in the span of a year. 

Didn't wanna settle for CSP, even though makes total sense to do so.  No going back, haha. 

To update: still getting 30 day robolady message.

Hey all. 

Still getting 30-day message. Should I continue to wait it out? 

Seems like I could expedite if I call since I applied last Tuesday.

If you lack patience then reach out to them, otherwise waiting things out hurts nothing.

Quick question.

Was wondering in the case that I have a denial. Let's say I call recon and still get denied should I:

1) Ask to see if I can get considered for CSP without a hard pull -
      - If they say it will cause a HP, do I go with it?  (According to TU - I have 4 Inq, +1 for this CSR app. but 1 of them is student loan and other 2 are store cards, so don't know if it counts as all HPs according to chase that only considers HPs for actual credit cards)
2) Just apply for another credit card to garden with for 6-12 months and reapply. 
    - what credit card should it be.. (I was thinking Amex BCP, but amex isn't used everywhere so I am kind of reluctant for this one, despite amex being generous with CLs) 

- Thanks!

Called Chase Representative today. She delivered me to different department.

The guy pinged my phone with a verification code. 

That was all. Approved for $10k credit limit! Not bad at all since not a big spender, super happy!

Thanks to this forum - which helped me *patiently wait* (I was going to pull the trigger like September 2018, but knew my credit wasn't ready) and I learned a lot. Nothing is impossible.

I pushed my credit score up from 655 to 740 range in this span of time, with my 2 main credits being 10-11 months in length: Care credit and google, always paid more than monthly payment and sometimes paid twice/three times a month. Paying off some student loans definitley helped push my score and asking for CLI increases after 6 months (septemeber got approved for CLIs) definitely helped show chase that I had significant credit limits I guess. 

Happy day!

Have you check the pre-quals or my offers? Also, are you near a Chase branch. If so, you can see if you have preapproved offers.
