>>had to cold app for my freedom and recon to finally get approved
And you were over 5/24 at the time?
I wasn't even on Chase's radar. I couldn't get them to look at me for anything, no matter what cute outfit I put on and walked by in. But when I was within a month or two of being under 5/24, they started slipping me their number through the Bonvoy pre-qualification physical mailings. Once I went under, I bit the bullet and struck up a conversation with the Chase Sapphire and we got pretty cozy. After my approval, I was looking through the site and saw a whole bunch of pre-qualified offers for their other cards. As soon as the card reported and I went to 5/24 again, they left me in the dust. I'm sure next month I'll be seeing them strutting their stuff again when I'm under again. :-)
Btw, can you tell I'm going stir crazy?
