Chase Slate To Be Discontinued

[Anonymous]

DW app'd for Slate and was declined. When she called in for recon, she was told that Slate is being discontinued and current Slate cardholders are being grandfathered into the Freedom. And since she already has a Freedom... Meh, whatever.

Hmmm.  That's interesting.  I've got a Slate and a Freedom Unlimited.  DW has Slate, Freedom, and CSP.

Honestly, after the initial BT offer, it isn't that great of a card anyway.

That's  weird because it's still on their website.

If DW got a HP from a card that is no longer open to applications I'd be less than happy. Did she talk to them about removing it from her credit report if that's the case? Because if it's still appearing on their website then someone is slipping over there

It is. I checked from my account, then in incognito, still there

Someone may be slipping or it may be yet another case of Chase frontline  CSR just spewing whatever to get you off the phone

That is so weird.  
I have a Freedom, and I get the green check mark for the Slate when I log into Chase.  You'd think they'd take that away.

I think this might be a case where there's no agreement on what the bleep is going on

That's BS if you receive a HP for an application on a product that you aren't supposed to be able to apply for.  Definitely a Chase screwup somewhere.

The Chase legal team can point out that the applicant was seeking additional credit, and the HP records that seeking!

That argument wouldn’t hold up. Without a product attached to the inquiry, Chase didn’t have a permissible purpose for obtaining the credit report.
