Jetblue card

[Anonymous]

Was wondering if anyone had an idea to my chances on a JetBlue Card? I’ve had many accounts opened and closed (by me) since I began rebuilding.

My TU looks like this:
755 Fico 08, 770 vantage
21 inq in 2 years, 7 in 6 mo (5 are for an auto loan on same day).
3 new accounts in 6 mo (1 being an auto loan).
1% utilization

Have an Arrival Plus Card for 10 months (June) for 11k
Was denied Barclay Windham in August for INQ

I'm no expert, but you do seem to have a collection of inquiries. It may or may not sway them away. Your score is good though.

My only quesyion is, why Jetblue? Surely you can do better.

Lol thank you

I live in Boston and my Dad is in Long Beach, CA. They fly non stop to Long Beach.

Lots of inquiries for sure. I think you have a good chance of approval though give the rest of your profile. At worst you get rejected and you go from 21 to 22 inquires. That's nothing.

A perk in itself for sure! I've noticed that it's increasingly difficult to get non stop flight these days.

Go for it. Worse case they deny you could recon asking to transfer some of your limit from Arrival. 

Jet Blue just saved me flying from Boston to CLE. 

Good luck.

Sounds like a darn good reason to me

The JetBlue card is a great card, and the points have real value.

Unfortunately, Barclays sucks.

The truth is they will probably turn you down for too many inquiries.

If they turn you down, recon the denial using one of the 'backdoor' numbers, and if they don't seem like they're going to give it to you, offer to take some of your Arrival credit limit and move it over to the JetBlue.

If that doesn't work, I'm sorry but that's about all you can do until JetBlue gets smart and dumps Barclays.

I had as many as 5 cards with Barclays, including JetBlue; I managed my accounts in exemplary fashion, paying in full every month. One day out of nowhere they closed my accounts. No explanation given.

Did you go for it OP?

I was recently approved for the JetBlue MasterCard with a lot of inquiries. I believe it was around 18 and was approved for a 2k limit. My TU score was around a 700, and I have one delinquency on my record.

However, I am an AU on my GF's JBMC that has an 8-year PIF on-time payment history and a 25k CL. I am not sure if that was a reason I was approved or not, but I give it a shot.
