Hello all,
I’m trying to build a relationship with Chase because I have the CSR in my mind, but I don’t own a Chase card yet. My credit history is thin, (1.5x year BofA Cashrewards with a CL of $1600). 778 FICO, 734 VatangeScore, clean history. Would this be the best time to apply for a CF card? I don’t think the sign up bonuses with change anytime soon. The plan is to build credit with Chase and then in about 6-10 months double dip for the CSP & CSR for one HP. Right now I’m at 1/24. Would this be a correct approach? I’m a college student educating myself in credit cards and would appreciate all the info. Thank you all in advance!
If you want to 'build a relationship with Chase' you should NEVER double dip the CSP and CSR since it is Chase's policy not to issue both cards to the same person. If you follow the advice of one poster to do both applications almost at the same time, and then PC to another product, to evade Chase's policy, that would probably be a good way of destroying your relationship with Chase.
You might be able to get the Chase Freedom or Freedom Unlimited, so I guess that's a way of getting on Chase's radar. But if you don't really want the card, I don't see any reason to get it.
