Chase Freedom - Instant Approval

[GaTech]

So, I initially wanted a 5% cash back card a month ago with a nice 0% APR since my AMEX BCE apr will jump up to 15.24% at the end of December.

I initially was going to ap for the Discover IT Card, but wanted another card with more acceptance so I decided to keep an eye out for a Chase card.

Chase gave me a targeted offer in the mail for Freedom with 0% APR until March 2015, glad I took the bait because I applied online with an INSTANT approval and a new tradeline with $4000 CL. Not bad for a college student

Unfortunately, it didn't come with a sign up bonus (aka spend $500 to get $150 cash back) but I'm happy I have time to pay off my balance transfer ($3.4 K).

UPDATE:

I called CS after activating my card. She said since I'm a new member, my card was automatically eligible for the $200 promo. Awesome

Congrats ..

I would send a secured message requesting the $200.00 sign up bonus after 500.00 spend. I was able to get it this way.

Good luck

I would definitely do this as well. I had success doing this with the $300 freedom promotion they had a couple years ago. Congrats on the card though, great card to have!
