Chase Amazon Prime Visa - Surprise Approval

As part of my mini app-spree, I pulled the trigger on  Chase Amazon Prime card.

 

They pulled Experian. My Experian FICO 8 is 669 (I am assuming they use FICO 8 but please someone correct me if this is not the case).

 

I have a couple of $10,000 and $5000 cards. However, I also have some old chargeoffs, which is what's bringing my score down. My utilization is close to 0%.

 

Approved for $4000 and change.

 

Questions:

  1. Does Chase allow a recon for a higher starting limit?
  2. Should I try for any other Chase cards given my currently low FICO or would that be a stretch?
  3. How long should I wait beforoe requesting a CLI for this card? I do plan to use it quite a bit for Amazon purchases.

 

Thanks!!

Congratulations on your approval!

 

1. You can ask but expect another HP

2. I wouldn't, build history for 6 months and try then. 

3. Personally, I'd give it at least three months of history. Expect a HP for it though. 


Last HP 08-07-2023

Congrats on the approval and SL!

 

As far as other Chase cards, on my Chase Amazon account site I have the ability to check to see if I pre-qualify for other Chase cards.

Good question-- it was actually just 1 inq on Experian at the time of the application.

 

Because of the old chargeoffs showing up on my Experian, for the last couple of years I tried my best to stay away from anything that had any chance of pulling Experian. 

 

Thanks!!
