Chase AARP!

I can't believe my luck lately!

 

I was looking for a good dining cash back card, and I had been really considering the Chase AARP, but I was afraid they wouldn't approve me because I was just approved for their Freedom card with a $7000 limit last month (not to mention my FICO scores are fair at best), but my itchy app finger kicked in and I decided to bite the bullet anyway, hoping they would at least give me a "review" message and I could recon it.

 

Those hopes were not necessary!

 

Results: Instant approval (!!!)

$7000 limit (!?!?!) Smiley Very Happy

 

Now I have a card that gives me great cash back on virtually all my spending! Smiley Very Happy

 

P.S. Chase has won a customer for life!!!
