Thanks to you both! Really appreciate the insight.

Creditaddict - the CSP looks like an awesome card indeed. Do you think I'd get approved with my scores? When I go to their preapprove link only Freedom and Slate come up.

you could do the one to slam that so many pull off...

take the pre-approval for freedom and follow it up instantly with an app for CSP right after Freedom... worse case you walk away with Freedom.

I just got approved witha score of 734. odds are just ok without a Pre qual

I never get pre-qual at chase and I got my Marriott which was a bit of a shock and then 1 month later got Amazon Visa last week!

Thanks again for the help here. 734 is definitely much more consistent with what I was seeing on creditpulls for the CSP, and the other factor holding me back from that one is that I've already got one AF card (Amex Green) and not sure I want to add another AF card without giving it some really careful thought. I'm thinking if I do add an AF card, I'd rather have the Arrival+ from Barclays, but I'm open to hearing other perspectives on that.

I think I'll wait and see how my CLI request goes with Barclays this weekend, and then weigh my options with Chase. It is really good to know though that you can pull off a 2-for-1 app with Chase the way you can with Amex - that's really helpful insight.
