Wife and I have both been working on our credit quite a bit over the past 14 months and it has paid off big time. We close on our first house next week. We have been avoiding applying for new credit for past few months until after house closes and some good offers have been making that difficult. She recieved a mail offer for Chase Sapphire Preferred which has been a target for awhile so planning to apply after we close next week.
My question is the mailer offers bonus of 40k but website offers 50k. Would using one or the other have any effect on chance of approval or starting CL.? I would like the 50k bonus but also want to get highest limit possible. Does it make a difference which offer we use?
Currently Wife has-
Freedom- $6600 CL
Discover IT $16,900
Venture $15,750
etc
Hoping for a CL similar to Discover or Venture.
Thanks!
Check the online pre-approval and if it gives you the card apply
The other good news is Chase will honor current promos if she uses the mail offer
Congrats on the new home

IMO, I would do the one online for 50K. Do the pre-qualification online 1st though since I'm pretty sure it will pop-up. If the CSP shows as one of those as pre-approved, then just submit it that way to get the 50K. Congrats on the new home btw!

No. The sign up offer does not change one's credit profile or income.
