I need a strong game plan for CSR

[Anonymous]

Thanks for your advice, that sounds like a really good plan. I will head into Chase in the morning to get that process moving.

So, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a savings or checking account right? I’ll still be able to go online and see if there's any offers in the "offers" section?

You are right, I will hold off on app’ing for a while and work with what I have.

I hope your estimate is correct, 6 months would be real nice 😊

Thanks, that is good to know!

Thanks for the advice & info. I didn’t know csr sl is 10k 😊 that makes it even sweeter!

I will, I’ll open a saving or checking account with them tomorrow, and when the prequal pops up for freedom I will go with that first, and then hold out on 5/24 for the csr when the opportunity comes.

That is very interesting and it makes a lot of sense. I will definitely give that a try.

Thanks for the info!

Keep in mind that you may get a CSP "offer" from your Chase login -- you can always app that, use the card for a year (bank your URs) and then PC after a year to CSR if your credit profile supports the CSR.  This is an option if you don't get any in-branch offers for CSR but do get one for CSP.

That is good to know. I'd be happy to go that route. Do you know what the sl is on the csp?

$5K min for CSP, $10K for CSR.

That's my hope -- if I get a CSP preapproval I'll snag it now and after a year try to PC to CSR.  My 5/24 doesn't work until 06/2019 so if I can get a CSP before 06/2018, I can PC it in a year and it'll be at the same timeframe that the CSR would come cold apping.

Plus, I can earn URs now and bank them and hold them until I have CSR so they're worth even more for travel redemption!

How’d you get from 500’s to near 800 in less than a year?
