$20K CL from Chase??
odd but I'm excited for you,
That's why I didn't believe it at first. The only thing I can imagine is that I reached a guy who had the ability to make the decision on his own and for some reason wanted to be nice to me!
Wow! Awesome!
And thank you for serving our country!
Whoa! Amazing limit! Congrats! 😳😊
COngratulations!!!
Congrats!

Going into this little spree, all I had was a Capital One (3k, 4% due to SCRA) and Kay Jewelers (4k, high interest but what I bought had 0% promo). My Credit Karma score had been in the high 500's for the last year that I have been looking at it. Last week I logged on and my score on CK jumped 50 points into the 640's so I decided to apply for the Chase Freedom and got instant approved for 2k. I also applied for the Slate the next day and got the "check the mail for our decision" response. Today I applied for the Discover It and got countered for a lower promo rate and only 1.9k limit.
Fortunately, by reading this forum for the last few days I learned some things and ended up calling the backdoor number for Chase listed in the backdoor thread. After speaking with an analyst, I was shocked to not only get approved....but get approved for.........
$20,000!!!!
At first, I thought he mispoke, so I had him repeat it, still 20k! I still was skeptical so I ended up calling the other backdoor number listed and got the automated confirmation for 20k!
I am so excited right now. Even though I don't need to use the credit, this will help me build my score and once my military service is over in about 3 years I will be in a better position for a mortgage!
Thank you to all of you for sharing your experiences on this site, without it I would have made so many mistakes!
GREAT JOB!!!!
Nice approval and recon, congrats!
