First Non-Secured Non-Store Bank Card! Freedom APPROVED!

I am just shy of having Capital One secured card of $200 for 6 months.  

I have several Comenity store cards.

Authorized user on Amex Gold, Quicksilver One, and just recently one of those Football cards, I think it is Barclay?  All new cards of my husband obtained over the past 5 months.

 

Tried for the Chase Freedom this afternoon and got APPROVED!!! $500.  

 

I am so happy, but, being a myFico member, never satisfied (hee hee!), so of course I would like to recon for a higher limit.

 

Any advice about a Chase Freedom recon strategy?  

 

Should I try for another card? Capital One? Any others?  I did try for Slate, and got the 7-10 message.  

 

Thank you SO MUCH myFico people!!!!!!!  Not only is my credit improving, but my social anxieties are way down as my confidence is on the rise!!!

Congrats!

 

You could check out Capital One's prequal tool. It's really accurate. If anything comes up, you'd be good to go and app for those.

Thanks!  I only get pre qualified for the secured Capital One (which I already have).

 

Then again, I didn't get any pre approvals from Freedom (or any Chase card).

Congrats! Doesn't hurt to ask. The worse they can say is, "Not now."

Congrats! Id say with 6 months of your own history, chase was nice to let u in. U could ask them to reconsider the startling line but i think wait another 6 months and apply for another chase card instead.
