Re: Unbelievable Chase Sapphire Reserve Instant Approval...

Wow ! That's sooo nice! do you mind sharing how many INQ you have prior to this? and I guess you being private client with Chase didn't hurt either Smiley Happy

 

Any more baddies on your report?

So I've had a crazy credit year. 

 

I had defaulted on my student loans in 08 and rehabbed them ending in April of 2015. In May of 2015 Navient Picked them up. 

 

I went from getting my first credit card in my name in 10 years in June of 2015 to this approval today. 

 

Here's the complete rebuild timeline:

 

Here's the complete timeline, ending with my last card today....

 

6-12-15 – Approved for Capital One Platinum 3k SL (my first card in 10 years)

8-11-15 – Approved for USAA WWP Mastercard – 5k SL

8-27-15 – Approved for Amex Platinum NPSL

9-1-15 – Bumped Capital One Platinum SL to 5k via CLI Button

9-2-15 – Approved For Chase Slate 5k SL

9-4-15 – Approved for Capital One Quicksilver 5k SL

9-17-15 – Approved BOA Travel Rewards $3k SL

9-29-15 – Approved AMEX PRG – NPSL

10-5-15 – Approved Capital One Venture $20k SL

10-7-15 – Approved Bank of America Cash Rewards $3k SL

10-19-15  Approved Chase Freedom $5.5k SL

10-28-15 – Approved Barclays Arrival + $3.5k SL

11-05-15 – Double Apped for 2 additional Capital One Ventures – Approved $15k SL Each

11-06-15 – Approved - DCU Platinum Visa - $7.5k SL

11-06-15 – Approved - Stash Hotel Rewards $8k SL

@Anonymous-14-15 – Approved DCU Used Auto loan @ 2.99% - Total $23,495 (put 20k down on a 43k car)

12-12-15 – Capital One Auto CLI to 5.5k SL on Platinum

12-23-15 – Approved Chase United Mileage Explorer $9k SL

3-16-16 – Approved AMEX Business Gold Rewards – NPSL

4-11-16 – Approved Chase Ink Business Plus - $5k SL

5-1-16 - Combined Capital One platinum into First Venture – 25.5k new SL on Venture

5-8-16 – PC’d Chase Slate to Chase Freedom Unlimited

5-16-16 – Approved Amex Everyday $1k SL

5-20-16 – Barclays CLI to new 5.5k SL

8-5-16 – CLI’d Both BOA Cards to 5.5k SL each

8-16-16 – Approved Amex Blue Cash Everyday $2.5k SL (via email invite)

 

 

My current FICOS - if you believe the bank sites are - TU 704 EX 700 EQ 693

 

Now I had wanted a Sapphire Preffered, but was locked out due to the 5/24 rule. My Amex Plat renewal is coming up on my next statement, and while I like the benefits, the sapphire reserve offers more, plus a 100k UR bonus for a 4k spend in 3 months.  And combined with the Freedom, and the Ink Plus, I have an easier time accumulating UR points, add to that the fact that I live next to a United Hub, and it's my airline of choice, and well, Actually Getting this card was a no brainer for me. Now them GIVING me the card was pretty much a snowball's chance in Hell.  There had been some anecdotal evidence on here that the Sapphire Reserve was not under the 5/24 restriction , but at this point I'm at 23/24 (Including this new acct). I thought my chances were slim to none but I figured i would throw the dice one more time before I went out into the garden. Now a disclaimer - Both my family and I have Pirvate Client Banking at Chase, and I have my business accounts at Chase, but until now they have seemed somewhat stingy with CL's. (5k on Slate PC'd to FU), 5.5k on Freedom, and 9K on United Mieage Explorer. Anyway I went on the chase site, applied online. and Expected a 7-10 day or 30 day message. EVERY one of my other chase approvals has been delayed - 7-10 days except the intial Slate approval, so needless to say my eyes practically popped out of my head when I saw this appear....

So now.... Off to the garden I go.... My portfolio is beyond complete. 

 

Take care,

 

George

Re: Unbelievable Chase Sapphire Reserve Instant Approval...

MCO - Inquiries prior to this:

 

I have 13 on TU, 10 on Equifax, and 18 on Experian.

 

By December 10 of 13 on TU, 14 of 18 on Experian, and  9 of 10 Equifax inquiries will be over a year old. (supposedly when they stop affecting scoring)

Congrats!  I got instant approval online as well but didn't see a hard pull reported through myFICO.  I'm concerned I may have entered my info on a spoof site although I went directly to the Chase website (I alredy have acconts with them).  Did you get a follow up email like this...
