Sorry to hear that. Try and get a reason why and then just work on it I guess. I haven't yet requested a CLI from chase so I don't know how difficult it is. I just find if I charge a lot to my card and then pay it off quick they will realize that my CL is not enough and get an anuto CLI.

Re: wasted HP

These days I'm totally negative on Chase, so I would say stick with AMEX.  Of course, it really depends on how valuable your Chase card is to you.  If it's a card that you can maximize the benefits, then it might be worth a second try.  If you have other cards that work as well or better, why bother?

Re: wasted HP

As you build a relationship with them, they will be more inclined to give you a higher CL. I tried to get them to match my highest CL to and they wanted to see how I would do with what they gave me. After 6 mo's they finally gave in. Time is all Chase wants.

Re: wasted HP

I guess not valuable as my discover... but to ask them again is another HP and soon my amex will be my 61st. So I hope with his HP my amex wont be affected. Grrrrrr...... I thought chase will be nice to me I guess not. So I guess im gonna keep loving my discover and my amex from now on. To think chase card still in the mail. Hmmmmm.

Re: wasted HP

Most CC companies are hard to peg.  I have been with Chase for 4 yrs and never an auto CLI despite always paying in full, and they didn't get burned in my '07 BK7.   The card started as a WaMu, when Chase took over they slashed my limit in half and doubled my APR.  Neither has budged in all these years.

 

Thanks to the fine folks and great advice here, I have a Discover It with 5x the Chase limit and a brand new Barclay Rewards MC with more than double th CL. Only reason I haven't cancelled the Freedom is my DD is an AU on it. 

 

IMO, Chase would not be worth a second HP, but you have to decide what' best for you. Sounds like you are covered with your other cards.

Re: wasted HP

The funny thing is chase gave me 2200, with apr aft. Promo of 22.99 the highest apr ever! Before I apply for chase my highest apr is 15 something thats my amex and my discover is 12 something. So I guess amex and discover is the one thats gonna grow with me.
