Good morning everyone! I had a question about my Chase Freedom. I recently opened it (about a month ago) and have been using it regularly but paying if off every three days (since that's the grace period) since I want the points. I also bank with Chase, and I'm sure they can (if they looked) could see that I also pay regularly on my Capital One card (PIF every week).
My question is if the activity is how it is, how likely is it if I contact the backdoor number would they be willing to give me a CLI to match AT LEAST my $1500 limit on my Capital One so I can use Chase as my primary card? Currently, I've been using the Capital One card since it has the higher limit.
My current limit is $1000 with Chase.

ever read the TOS? the grace period is NOT 3 days all new charges on the new statement is not charged interest =)
I could be wrong, but I think there is only a certain number of days that you can RECON for a different limit after opening your card without it counting as a new inquiry. With a month gone by, i'm assuming that that window is closed and that Chase will perform a hard check. You might be better off waiting until the six month mark.
with chase it's usually easier to ask for a new credit card and transfering the CL over to be honest they're pretty stingy after they issue you what they believe is a good CL

I meant period between payments. Chase will not let you make a payment every day but only every three. I use my credit cards as a debit card. I use it, then pay them off.

You could always try calling the backdoor number and explain your situation...just make sure to say that you don't want an inquiry. At worst, they'll just tell you that they can't process anything without one.
