Which card should I apply next? + questions

[JasonKR]

Hello guys,

I'm planning to apply for Chase IHG w/80k offer and Hyatt credit card for upcoming summer trip,

so, which one should I apply first and when should I apply for it?

I'm thinking about to apply it on later this month or around March,

1) Should I apply both by using 2 browser trick?

or should I apply IHG or Hyatt first then apply for another after a month?

2) Is it possible to PC Barclay Arrival World MasterCard to no annual fee version within a year?

3) I'm currently using Amex Delta Gold credit card, and I was thinking about to PC into another Amex card, which card am I eligible to PC?

Thanks in advance!

I have been able to PC what was originally the Delta Gold (opened 12/13) twice.  The first time to the BCE, then, the second time, from the BCE to the Blue Cash.

When you call, the CSR can see if what cards your DG is qualified to PC to.  At the first PC, the CSR gave me the option of the BCE or Blue Sky.  The second time around, the CSR gave me several more options including a few that aren't listed on the AmEx website.  Both times the cards I was able to choose from were no AF cards.  So, for example, I would not have been able to PC to the BCP (which later I just app'd for anyway).  Good luck!

Thanks in advance!

I applied for the CSP and Chase United 15 days apart and was approved for both (you can always recon if declined at first; I did).  I don't think the 2-browswer "trick" is necessary with the 2 you want.

Thanks guys, Barclay Arrival... seems like its good offer! ..

1. 4 Chase cards in 3-4 months may be tough with a short credit history. A "not enough history with us" may come up.

2. Supposedly it's possible after a year, but I haven't read about anyone who's done it thus far.

3. Need to ask. You need to wait until the AF posts to go from an AF to no-AF card.

Man! so basically I need to pay annual fee whatsoever

I will give it a try anyways, Thanks

If you PC after the AF posts you'll get a prorated refund which should be close to the entire amount. Definitely give it a try before it posts though.

yep, gotta get Delta miles as much as possible, then PC!

I will MF sign-up bonus anyways, I will let you guys know if I get approved with Hyatt or IHG!

for Barclay Arrival, gonna do more research on it and will apply, since I have low inquiries on TU
