Chase TRIFECTA Achieved in 4 Months

I have decided that 2021 was a good time to get my very own Chase Trifecta. Chase double pull in my state. They pull TU for credit decision though.

 

First apped for Freedom Flex in January, just before the 5% grocery offer ended. Had to fax my SSN and DL for verification. $6.9k limit APPROVED the next morning.

 

After only 28 days, I apped for Freedom Unlimited. Came back DENIED: "Age of credit history is too new; Too many hard pulls." I immediately recon'ed. They asked for my current liquid asset. I had to send in SSN and DL again. A few days later, the CFU showed up on my account, with a whopping $500 limit. Thinking back, I really shouldn't have done 2 Chase apps within 30 days. I'm now on their radar. I moved $3.5k from my CFF for the CFU to be at least *usable*.

 

Now, CSP's 80k SUB is expiring in ten days. Today is also exactly 91 days after my CFU approval. Though I feared that I could be on Chase's "naughty list," I still apped for the Sapphire Preferred. I apped and Chase pulled TU. I called into recon line and was transferred to verifications. After a few minutes listening to on-hold music, the rep told me I was APPROVED for $18.4k. WOW!

 

So at the end, 20k+20k+80k = 120k SUB + proud owner of the coveted trifecta. I'm now 5/24 and out of Chase jail (if I garden) in Aug 2022.

Just hope and pray, that the big bad bear Chase, does not shut your cards down.

I don't think my apps are grounds for shut down per se (no rule breaking, still regular spend after getting SUB), but I'm gonna be a good lad now HAHA

Congratulations on achieving a Chase trifecta!

 

Now is an excellent time to garden as Chase is known for shutting cards down when included in a spree that brings you over 5/24. They will be watching your reports like a hawk for the next few months and can be easily spooked. 

Enjoy your SUBs!

Excellent CSP approval Smiley Happy

 

Too bad that 80K is going away in 10 days, i still have 3 months to go before I can get a Sapphire SUB again, its 4 years for them now. Turned my CSP into a freedom card.

Actually Chase has definitely been known to shut down all cards for applying for them too quickly. I would definitely lie low for at least six months.
