Well thanks for sharing in my excitement, I posted this to a Facebook group and people just knocked me for not getting a chase card. Well done MyFico

Lol pay them no mind. I know personally, Chase definitely offers excellent rewards cards but man, they seem like a serious PITA to do business with. And HPs for CLI requests (which with the apparent rarity of auto CLIs, is by far the normal way to get them), 5/24, don’t app for anything afterward or they might shut you down, etc. Too many hoops to jump through to get one. Thanks but I’ll pass.

We, the MFers, are here to help and encourage each other.

 

Haters gonna hate.

 

I’m not a huge fan of Chase but that’s probably because I know I don’t meet their criteria right now. Ask me again in 2021 if I’m a Chase fan. Lol.

 

There are ACTUAL credit experts (not me) here.

 

Let us know if you decide to app for the HH. Tic tok...

Will do. I am up and down, what's holding me back is can I show my bank account info and my wife's tax returns if I have to prove income?

You put household income in that field, right?

It says, “all available income to you”.

 

If your DW’s income is available to you, yes.

 

If that’s different than what was on your first app, that may raise a red flag.
