Congrats. Now, next week apply for a Chase Slate and get the same limit. Then, combine the limits onto your Freedom and close the Slate.

Care to give more details?

The a Freedom and Slate typically have the same underwriting criteria as you usually receive preapprovals for both.  The Slate is not nearly as popular as its really just good for balance transfer.  Chase though will allow you to transfer credit limita from one card to another quite easily.  So, in theory, you apply and get approved for the Slate then transfer the credit limit to the Freedom and close the useless Slate.  In effect you have received a CL without much effort.  It's also thought that Chase will use the same credit pull for the original card to approve you for the second one.  As always,  YMMV
