Chase FU Bucketed?

[Tito1183]

Approved for Chase FU on 11/6/17 when I started my rebuild for $500. I tried for an increase 2/20/2018 and was declined. Does Chase bucket their cards? Should i try an increase again?

I’ll be 4/24 on 11/15/19 and 3/24 on 02/18/20 when I plan to apply for a CSP or CSR. I’ve noticed for existing clients they usually lull EX and EQ.

FICO 8 EQ is 684 and EX is 673
BankCard 8 - EQ 690 and EX 681
BankCard 9 - EQ 689 and EX 690

Opinion on chances for approval do CSP or CSR?

Income $105,000, bunch of inquiries past 24 months, however last 12 months EQ 5 INQs 2 of which were for a Mazda Lease (ended up approved by Chase), and 4 on EX 1 was for Mazda Lease.

CSP probable. CSR no chance. Do you get any offers from the "just for you" section on their account page?

Haven’t gotten any pre quals. Why no chance on CSR?

It depends on your credit profile

1. Chase dislikes thin files. Your AAoA might be ok at 1yr+ or so by the time you clear the 5/24, assuming you don't do more apps by then, but 5 or so cards all within 2 years is still a relatively thin file. But in general, Chase will accept a solid year or so of history I believe. 

2. It will also depend on the CLs on your other cards. Chase in the past hasn't liked being the first high limit card in your wallet and CSR has a minimum starting CL of $10K I believe. So your chances of being approved for a CSR is very low if you don't already have a 10k+ card or something close. CSP I believe starts at $5K? So it's more likely on a portfolio of lower limit cards. 

3. Those scores a bit on the low side for now. Hopefully you'll clear 700 by the time you apply.

What sort of baddies are you rebuilding from? $500 is lower than the CL Chase gave me with zero history.

Generally, the more popular route with Chase has been to get a new account and reallocate CLs.

At this point some old medical collections, working on getting them resolved. Had a credit card with WaMu which they acquired, had a kidney transplant and fell in tough times so it was charged off. No longer on my report but they can see it, let me in with the $500 limit, card will be 2 years old in Nov. AAoA 2.5 right now. Also have my auto lease with them as well. First $10K credit card with my CU, just reported this month. Hoping once that’s six months old I can app for CSP or CSR.

What is your utilization at the time you made the request? What were the reason for the denial of the CLI?
