Ritz Carlton Approval $31K - **RECEIVED 10-26-16 UPDATE**

Got a pop up on my Chase account for the Ritz Carolton this past Wednesday, decided to apply to the deal it was giving and the Visa Infinity and everything else I have read about it. They call me Thursday morning as I needed to unlock my EQ credit report and did so and the lady had me hold for about 3 mins and came back and said congrats, you are approved for $31K and you should get it in 2 weeks. No email but logged on this morning and saw it was added to my account. Believe the interest rate is 16%-something.  Decent SL and looking forward to spending the $5k in 3 mos for bonus and already added wife for the 10k points bonus.  I will really put it to use in the 1Q2017 with some international travel with the DW and kids.

For stats: Live in Northern Virginia, Brambleton area outside of DC. They pulled only EQ, score on MyFico is 762 as of yesterday. 11% utilized on all credit lines, income is $329K/yr for me (I applied with my income only and added DW as AU), no lates, no collections, no baddies period. Oldest credit card is Amex, over 20 years. 17 inquiries this year, so not really believing that Chase is as INQ sensitive as reported or the other rules about not being approved if you have opened more than 2 cards in the last several months anywhere not just Chase (which I have with Amex ED, Amex Delta and Chase Freedome...all within the last 6 months).

Now looking forward to the "unboxing" that I keep reading about!  Smiley Very Happy

Congrats on the lovely limit! The Ritz is hands down one of my favorite cards. Also, Ritz cards are overnighted by UPS so you'll get it very soon! 

Gardening until September 2025

Re: Ritz Carlton Approval $31K

Wow! That's a great starting limit.

But I'm a little surprised she said it would take 2 weeks?
