Chase Sapphire Preferred

[Anonymous]

I got approved for this card! This is my first mid-tier card, all of my others are likely considered 'starter' cards. I've been rebuilding since 2014.

Oldest Card: 2014

Number of Cards Pre-Application: 5

Fico: 709 (Experian was the only bureau pulled for me)

CL: $5,000

I'm looking forward to hitting that signup bonus (60,000 points for $4,000 spend in 3 months).

I guess I should add that strangely I was declined 3 days prior on a Chase Freedom card.

Congrats! Did you call Chase and have them expedite it to you so you can take advantage of as much of the first 3 months as possible? They'll do it for no charge.

In addition to the perks, the CSP has a great look and feel!

No, but I wish I had known that! I did utilize a trick to get my card number early by sending a secured message on the Chase app that lets me purchase on Amazon though. I have rent to fall back on if I can't meet the signup bonus. 3.5% fee for paying with a CC, but if worst come to worst it will still be worth it.

Congrats! That's my favorite card I have.

Helpful tip for hitting the signup bonus: Check and see if any of your utilities, insurance, etc. will allow you to prepay a few months in advance. I thought I was going to struggle to meet the $4k/90 days requirement, but here I am at day 70 and I've racked up over 10k... guess I didn't really need to worry much after all
