What to do with my Amazon Visa?

So I'm coming up on 13 months with my Amazon Visa and I was wondering what I should do with it.  It only has a $1300 CL, the smallest for my prime bank cards.  I wanted to Change it to a Freedom but I was wondering if I should go with a CLI first?  I would be willing to take a hard pull for CLI.  I want to get rid of the Amazon Visa because I'm looking into getting the forward later this year witch gives 5 points on Amazon.

 

So what should I do?

PC first to Freedom?

ask for a CLI? on Amazon Visa first

or get Citi Forward card then PC and CLI the Amazon card?

I asked a CSR and she said yes but said I had to wait till my card was 1 year old.

I would call and ask to PC and CLI at the same time. If they won't let you do that, I would PC and then ask for a CLI.

There is no backdoor to it.  The Amazon Visa is a Chase card.  The Amazon store card is a GEMB product.

I think you should get the chase freedom, then put my Amazon backordered crimson trace laser for my kimber ultra carry on it. You could get the 5% chase amazon this quarter.

Just saying. By the way, i really like my chase freedom.

Keep your Amazon card and apply for the Freedom separately. I have both and they have been very good with CLI's that have doubled the credit line each year for two years. Chase has been good to me.

Re: What to do with my Amazon Visa?

Must be nice, Gomer.  I'm coming up on 2 years with my Chase Amazon, and it's STILL at the meager $1000 I started with (and now have an Amex at $6,000 and USAA at $8,000).  Every time I attempt for a CLI, they state it must be a hard pull.

 

 

I sent in a secured message asking about a product change and the person who responded said it was not possible.
