Re: Is it hard to get a Chase saphire??

As always, depends on one's credit.  I had no problems getting one but that means nothing with regard to how it will be for you.

Impossible to say.  You haven't provided any information regarding your credit and situation.  Approvals are generally easier for products such as the Slate or Freedom.  It's generally stated that they want to see an existing $5K+ limit on another card but that seems to be one of those broad generalization that doesn't apply in all cases.

Make sure it suits you.  Don't just apply for cards based on how they look.

Well, in that case your chances are pretty slim if you are unemployed and have no credit history as most of the prime lenders such as Chase would like to see solid history and good income.

Wait a year and treat the card that have very well.

How did you get a card without an income? Are you an AU on someone else's account?

Congrats on your AMEX Delta! make sure you do a CLI after 61 days. If you treat your card well it might bump up to 6k. Sometimes a requirement for CSP is you have a revolving card with 5k or more. But everyone's right income could be an issue but I'm sure you can report the income your parents give you. I'd give it a shot in 6 months. Just make sure your Utl is low when applying for the card.

Please don't apply for a credit card just because you like how it looks.

 

What about the CSP would be worthwhile to you?
