You could say you were really unsure of which products you wanted, but after reviewing Chase's awesome freedom card, you decided that you really would like to use Chase Freedom for all you're daily spending
I had over 20 when they approved me
Well that is kinda true as I have been wanting the chase SP card for a little while now, and would love it to be my main card. As for the inq's most are from CLI such as Citi when I didn't realize each month that I'd apply for a CLI on my sears, homedeopt and cc would result in HP's. Others are from app sprees every three months for the last 12 months. Of course these were due to shopping around trying to get a good card with decent benefits etc.
I noticed they pulled both EX and EQ this time (the only pulled eq three months back). Looking at ithis in a positive way they can see I don't carry any cc debt since I PIF and have well over 100K in available cc credit. Which begs the question why I want another? Because the chase SP is far more awesome than any cc I currently have! (and trust me i have a few lol) when your building credit you continuously app not just because of the thrills but also each time you hope to get that slightly better deal
right ?

When you call to recon, Explain these items in red to the analyst....
You were ignorant... not necessarily needing additional credit, but you didn't understand that a HP was a bad thing when you were asking for CLI every month.

If
If you get approved, I have hope and my leave the garden to get my Freedom. My situation is the same, but I only have around 16 (EQ) and 8 (TU/EX) inquries. I have been nervous since AMEX denied me a BCP for too many inquries. I'd like to have the Freedom for my "everything else" card until I get approved for the BCP. X my fingers for ya!!!

yep. 11 days and counting.... My longest gardening spell was 4 months with no apps
I've been doing great things with the few apps that I've had in the last six months.
in the last six months I've had 1 HP on EX. 2 HP on EQ. 2 HP on TU
Their automated line has been fairly slow lately and I'm ont quite sure why.
When I applied in February for the Presidential Plus card, I was instantly approved. I called in and the system told me my CL within about 24 hours.
I applied for the J.P. Morgan Ritz Carlton card a couple of months ago, and was also instantly approved. However the same automated number couldn't tell me my CL until about 4-5 days later.
