My happiest denial from Chase Freedom

I used to have denials that made me sad because I knew that I had to actively  'improve' my credit before I would ever get a card, but I was recently denied and received the letter a few days ago where it said I was denied for the following reasons:

 

*Too many recent requests for credit or review for credit

*Length of time since oldest credit card was opened is too short

*One or more recent requests for new credit 

 

They are easy to fix with some garden time and that makes me happy.

Congratulations on your denial! 😉

Your Transunion and Equifax scores look good though.

My last app was the same day I applied for the Chase card. (My AAMiles up card that was approved). 

 

HP in the last six months: 13 across all three reports. (It's very high and I won't get approved for anything until they drop off.)

You will want to let those HP's age. At 12 months they become unscoreable.

Now enjoy the garden for a bit. Not letting the itch to apply get to you is a fun game. Let the wait begin! Cheers !
