Re: Chase sapphire preffered?

@ OP

 

Did Discover state a reason of not increasing your credit line?

Credit Karma tells me "very good" approval odds but shows "fair" for the freedom card? I'm a little skeptical that this is some type of marketing gimmick and I'm almost sure I won't bet approved for the sapphire preffered. Any suggestions?

 

CCT Scores FICO 8:

 

Experian - 663 w/ 10 Inq's (only 4 are CC's)

TransUnion - 622 w/ 3 Inq's (only 1 is CC)

Equifax - 657 w/ 5 Inq's (only 1 is CC)

 

Current credit cards:

 

CapOne Platinum just recently upgrade to QS. One year old - no missed payments $4k limit.

 

Discover It - $750 limit - 3 years old no missed payments.

 

What are some other good options for me if the Chase card isn't a good app? I feel like I should have another one or two. 

 

Thanks 

 

 

 

 

 



I hate to say but CreditKarma is paid advertising and if you would apply for CSP I would expect a denial ..sorry.

Have you tried the Chase pre-approvals?  If Freedom comes up as pre-approved then go ahead with  Freedom but if not then I would wait with Chase until you get your scores a bit higher (closer to 700)  If you do not travel and would like to use cash back then CSP would be a complete waste and not worth to pay the AF.  In the meantime try to work on SP CLIs with Cap1 and Discover to work towards 5K limit and getting your scores up.  You may consider Citi Double cash  or Fidelity Rewards Visa later on for general 2% cash back.

Just as a data point, you don't need another card with a 5k + limit for the CSP. I apped for mine with a score in the mid-high sixes - only cards reporting at that time were a 2500 CapOne and a 2k Amex. I pulled my Venture and Discover maybe a week before my CSP, but they weren't reporting yet.

Although to note - the CSP was showing for me on the Chase prequalifier.

Attached to every recommendation by CK in the top right corner you'll find this

‡ Average score refers to the arithmetic mean, typical low score to the 5th percentile and typical high score to the 95th percentile of, in each case, available VantageScore 3.0 credit scores provided by TransUnion of Credit Karma members who were approved for this product from August 2015 through January 2016.

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?
