Amazon Store Card Approval - Gave up on Chase

After more than a year of Chase refusing to raise my husband's CL on his Chase Amazon Prime Visa from $1000 I finally gave up and had him apply for the Amazon Store Credit Card. Approved with a $4400 limit. Now we can finally get 5% cash back at Amazon without having to pay multiple times a month.

Congrats on the new card!

 

Chase can be fickle to deal with, but in time and good payment history, I'm sure Chase will come around. In the mean time, enjoy that nice SL on the store card!

GOOD FOR YOU!! Both Smiley Happy

 

Chase is cheapo sometimes and if your not already a long time or previous customer with some history they can tend to stagnate cards like Amazon. As mentioned Chase works off their own scoring system and waiting them out for a CLI is defeating for some customers who gear spend on such a card.

 

Congratulations! and don't you be bothered by Chase anymore as concerns Amazon, Synchrony is more flexible, much more generous with limits because they look at not only spend but will react for you positively as your/hisTU Score goes up and will reward accordingly Smiley Happy

Thanks! I was worried that Synchrony wouldn't give him a great credit line because his Paypal Mastercard is only at $2700 but I'm pretty happy with the $4400. I did try the trick of having him apply for another Chase card so he could move the CL but Chase denied him of course.

Synchrony will most definitely come around for you guys in a more positive manner than Chase, mostly because Chase is geared to High End big spenders on their Hotel Cards and the like. so they tend to mope around on what they consider low end cards that don't raise enough cash for them in comparison.

 

I got tired waiting for a CLI on my last Chase card, the Freedom which was stuck at the same limit over a year and so i closed the thing and am currently free of any Chase Cards. As well as their double-pulls Smiley Very Happy
