No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Do you travel often? Do you usually fly United? Do you like rotating category cards? Does the Freedom's next quarterly categories sound good to you? Have you opened more than 5 cards in the last two years? If you have, you should probably go for a co-branded card. Do any of their hotel cards interest you? Ritz, Hyatt, Mariott, etc.
Your score could get you approved for any of their cards IMO. As long as you have a decent credit history.
And obviously if you can't meet the $4k CSP spend, don't app for it.
It only applies to CSP and Freedom. Not co-branded cards such as United.
I have seen by getting the CSP and then tranfer the UR to United to get 70K plus miles. Need to get to the 4k spend though.
If you do this you need to get CSP first and United later.
Also you can't transfer Freedom for UR if you don't have CSP.
I think this how it works, IMO.
Good luck!
I like the CSP.
The CSP/Freedom combo is great. I believe if you go into a Chase branch the Spend is only 2k still.
I also like my United card. United is 1000 dollar for bounus which is about a free flight in the continental us.
In order to use your UR for travel redemption you must have the CSP to transfer UR from the Freedom. If you dont plan on going anywhere for a while you can app for the Freedom and build up you UR and in a year or 2 when you can hit the CSP spend app for it. I expect to get a nice free trip out of using these cards for me and my wife for our 10 year.
I got turned down by Chase for too many new accounts even though I have NO baddies whatsoever (scores are in my signature), have a long relationship with them, never had a late payment, $150,000 income, etc. I don't know what their deal is but I'm pissed.
