Thank you all! I got a Chase approval :)

Hello,

I'm new here and have been lurking for a long time. I've learned so much thanks to those that share information.

For the longest, I've wanted a Chase CC. Last year, they flat out denied me. I didn't try to recon because I knew the problem was on my end. I fixed a couple things and got the spree itch last week. I applied for the Sapphire, but received a 30 day message because I have a security alert on my report. I thought they would deny me again. BUT, I got a call today and after verifying some info, she put me on hold to see if she could get an instant approval.

She came back and said congratulations! Your card and welcome packet should arrive within 10 days. Your credit limit is $5,000. I told her thank you for making my day. It's my highest credit limit today. I feel like I'm moving up in the game.

Thank you guys for all of the valuable advice. This forum is excellen!.
