JetBlue - 10 days / Denied

[expatCanuck]

In a moment of weakness, while booking a flight, applied for the JetBlue card this evening.

Ten days.

Tick tock ... .

What are the perks of the card?  I'm unfamiliar.

Just points and a nominal SUB.  But Mrs. E and I fly JetBlue sufficiently that it seemed like a good idea.

Which one did you go for OP? JetBlue or JetBlue Plus?

@op I got same message granted I received a mailer “pre selected”. I called next day and they just confirmed I applied. $4500 starting line. Your FICO scores significantly better than mine. Unless you’ve burned them in past you’re golden. I would call them !

The vanilla -- can't justify the AF.

Aaaand the answer is ... denied.
Too many new accounts >> 825+ FICO.

Gotta age.

Thank you for the data points, sorry about the denial! Get some age and go for it again

Thanks. By the time I'm ready, I'll likely be pursuing the Chase Freedom or another travel-oriented card.

The silver lining of a denial is that one is no further from 4/24. In fact, the more I think about it, the better off I may be without it. (How's that for a healthy outlook?)

Sometimes it's a blessing in disguise. You didn't need the card and now you're no further away from your x/24 goals.
