App spree that ended with a weird Chase decline

Hello all.

A few weeks ago I went on an app spree after CapOne removed 3 lates and I gained a few points. I had been gardening a while with a Self loan and Cc. 

 

STATS:

Self CC- $1350

SELF loan- paid off 2/2022 causing a 5 to 15 point drop

Amex AU- $14k, O% usage

UTILIZATION 7%

No lates 20 months and 1 paid collection for school 3 or 4 years old(2k). 

Scores-fico8 3/4

Told to apply for more lines to get  mortgage middlescore up

 

Applied:

1.Banana Republic Visa Declined (Chase)

Carecredit $6500

5. SECU MD CC Declined (my regular bank so will ask again next month my EQ5 is just  now approximately 641)

4. NORDSTROM Visa $2000

2.AMAZON Visa (Chase) $4800

2. SOUTHWEST CARD (CHASE) DECLINED

3. Self loan $535

 

I was attempting to to set up an AZEO with the Amazon Card and shifted all house, dining payments (5%cashback) etc to this card as soon as i got it. I set up hulu-  declined.. weird but went through later. Went to dinner, no problem. Door dash Declined last Thursday. Declined again for NORDSTROM $61. Called and they said your account is under review but it's normal 10 business days for review . Hmm. SAKs $72 Friday went through fine. Saturday and Sunday card completely frozen and unable to use. Fraud dept closed of course. Call Monday and the woman says my card is under review. Do you have your card in your possession? Did you authorize  these purchases? Yes. Give 3 business days for review to be completed. 

 

Mind you, I never recieved a call, email or text about  any issues with the card. All income verifiable $75k/no house payments/little utilization. 

 

What could be triggering problems? 

 

My only thought is that 3 of the cards I applied for were Chase adjacent. So they know im looking for credit. And now I am at 5/24 🙈

 

Thoughts?

Grats on all your approvals Smiley Happy

 

Chase is funny about new accounts with people that dont have established histories, the sudden move to "run" up the card most likely triggered the review combined with the other 2 cards you apped for with them. With Chase dont app for more than 1 in a 6 month period of time.

Mazel Tov on your approvals @Miss_mellojello , but I would let it rest for awhile.

 

Do you have checking/savings account with Chase? It is often helpful before applying to have a relationship. Much like NFCU they value prior relationships with them. It also allows you to walk into a branch and as for a reconsideration.  I have had a Chase accounts for 2 years, setup with I began my rebuild for just tha purpose.

Re: App spree that ended with a weird Chase decline

Just a quick FYI @Miss_mellojello 

 

You mentioned in your op...

 

Applied:

1.Banana Republic Visa Declined (Chase)

 

Chase is not the underwriting bank for the Banana Republic Visa (unless it was a typo). It is issued by Synchrony Bank. With that being said, all GAP CCs (including the Banana Republic CC) will be transitioning to Barclays sometime later this year.

 

And, yes, I would lay low...like ants crawling on the ground low...as far as any credit activities or sprees go.

Whoever told you to apply for more credit to get your mortgage scores up didn't know what they were talking about.  Applying for more credit has the exact opposite effect on your mortgage scores.

 

Your problem is that you took bad advice.

 

Now you need to garden.

 

IMHO you probably need to garden for a good long time.
