I tried about a year ago and got the 2-4 week message. I called the backdoor number and the credit analyst denied my app based on the previous charge off. This time I didn't call. I waited to see what would happen.
If it wasn't for the jet lag ( I'm an east coast girl and was on a business trip on the west coast) and the jealousy from knowing my co workers were getting more points than I was with their Marriott CC vs my Corporate Amex, I would have never tried. Good Luck!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

A few weeks ago I decided to app for the Marriott Rewards Visa because I stay in Marriotts at least six weeks out of the year. I had a charge-off with Chase around 10 years ago that I never paid (I was younger and dumb about my finances) so I wasn't surprised when I didn't get an instant approval. I thought it would be a denial but SURPRISE the card came in the mail today. Those 80k bonus points are a welcomed surprise!
I'll take mail like that everyday
Congrats!!
