Dont worry, LLT. When I call, I'll tell them who you are!

Still looking for a card that provides cell phone protection, after the Uber nerf and my Wells Fargo rejection.   Looking at the REI card (since I do shop there, there is some point to the card!).   I already have the Altitude Reserve and Cash +from US Bank (and the Fidelity from Elan).   Is there a limit on the number of cards they are willing to issue?    Two new accounts this year (+ the WF inq) might also be an issue I guess!

Well, nothing better to do so I applied.   Still pending.

Keep us posted @longtimelurker. Hope it has a good outcome!

Good luck, LLT!

If you can go the business card route, Chase Ink Preferred offers cell phone protection with bonus UR points to boot.

REI is the only card I've had on my list for a while now.  Several posts said their starting lines were pretty high ($18k-$22k).  Was rather odd for a US Bank card so I thought I'd hold off.  Let us know how your turns out.

Yes, I will.   If this doesn't work out, next is the Citizen's Bank one unless that pulls EXP, in which case I will give up on credit card cell insurance....

Just got email is was approved, $25K (so a little higher than the Altitude for a much less useful card).    Since I lack self control, probably going for the Citizen's bank anyway,

@longtimelurker  Congrats, that's a really nice approval.
