surprising app response: Upon HP, denied an 1800 CLI on Chase Amazon Visa for sufficient credit,
then approved for five figure CL Chase AARP
chasing rewards? unlimited 5% on all purchases for 6 mnths.: http://www.aarpcreditcard.com/Default
Even 5% CB on everything for 6 months isn't enough to tempt me to get into bed with Chase.

V. good point.
Not typically a rewards chaser here, so this is a test run to see how I like it, lol
+1000 on not trusting Chase as far as one can throw them. They are about as shady as it gets of the majors IMO but figure if I keep them on a short leash- of course PIF and try to rack up some rewards the 1st 6 mos we *MAY* just get along, at least short-term... and wooing me with a generous starting CL is the language of luv

+1. Me neither. Ever.

Approved for Amex PR Gold in October. At time of app, EQ FICO was around 650 (may have been 648 but I can't remember exactly now). I had late payments that were almost, but not quite, two years old. Don't know if that qualifies, but I was pleasantly surprised. I wouldn't have even applied except that I needed a card with a higher limit for business travel and Cap1 denied my CLI request.

NFCU Visa, 5 figures CL, but not surprising.

U'r so right.
Nice one! Sometimes it pays to submit a "reach" app.

If anyone else is willing to share any surprising app results or f/b about the actual OP product, thanks!
Here's my most recent/ long shot app result.
Approved for Pen Fed Visa with 8 new accts in the past year Wouldn't thought it possible (and don't advocate willy nilly app., they all serve a good purpose and were planned out well in advance as part of a building effort) but am of course over the moon with the result! (4 previous denials over 2+ yrs as a member)
Had thought build plan effectively excluded Pen Fed for a minimum of 12-24 months and possibly permanently due to number of TLs, am absolutely amazed and delighted having taken such a gamble.
Besides the new accts issue- clean report and reasonably strong stats overall (reported in Pen Fed survey thread)
