Re: CSP Approval Chances

I think you may have to recon due to the high balances. Might want to bring the util. down some first.

Re: CSP Approval Chances

Should I just wait a month until the usaa 15k cc reports that way it will drop my util?

Re: CSP Approval Chances

I would wait two months show 15k card and lower utility that was card with balance makes it to 4 months. Then they are more likely to match to a higher limit.
Cards: CSP $5k, Capital One Cash Rewards VS $3100, Discover it $3k Capital One MasterCard $600, Orchard Bank $3k, Barclays Rewards MC $1250 Gapcard $900, BR $300, Neiman Marcus $1k, Macys $1200 Walmart $500
In the garden until I can get a BCP

if a new account reports, generally u have to wait 3-6 months before you should apply with another prime bank.

they start getting paranoid if you apply for one account right after you got another.

so if you don't want to wait, just explain it now. worst case scenario you waste 1 inquiry, and you can try again 3-6 months from now.

JPMorgan Palladium (100k), AmEx Platinum (NPSL), AmEx SPG (46k), AmEx BCP (42k), Chase Sapphire Preferred (47k), Citi Prestige (31k), Citi Thank You Preferred (27k), Citi Executive AAdvantage (25k), JPMorgan Ritz-Carlton (21k), Merrill+ (15k), US Bank Cash+ (22.5k), Wells Fargo (12k), Bloomingdale’s (12.4k), Chase Freedom (5k), Discover IT (5k).

Re: CSP Approval Chances

Hey ezdoesit! Welcome to the forums!
Your FICOs are ok- income/limits are good. Baddies are old. AAoA is good. If I were you, I'd wait till the 15K limit reports then app the following month. Your utility will be 19% then. If you app now- utility is too high. Possibility of denial but could probably be turned on recon. Still, you'll end up with a better approval chance and higher limit if you wait. JMHO.
