Not multiple of the same card. 1 Freedom Unlimited and 1 Freedom — yes.



Call the reconsideration line immediately.



Call the reconsideration line immediately.


If you get rejected sometimes there are errors in their automation side or just simply discrepancies. I have always called the reconsideration lines for credit agencies and sometimes even gotten approved over the phone.

At the least it will tell you why you got denied and it will be a learning experience. In this specific case: Always call laugh out loud
That's not how the offer reads:

Earn a $200 bonus after you spend $500 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.* And earn 5% cash back on grocery store purchases (not including TargetĀ® or WalmartĀ® purchases) on up to $12,000 spent in the first year.*
Yes you are. The Chase Freedom and Freedom Unlimited are different cards. Go and apply for it! If you do, please use someone's referral link (they get $100) to share the wealth!

The BOA Cash Rewards credit card seems too good to be true with a reward structure that is very competitive with BOA's Premium Rewards variant. What gives?

Ideally you get both...and the business version of the cash card as well.

Cash rewards (assuming top BoA status) gets you:

5.25% in a category of your choice- changeable monthly

Personal card choices are: gas, online shopping, dining, travel, drug stores, home improvement/furnishing stores.

Business card choices are: gas, office supply stores, travel, tv/telecom/wireless, computer services, business consulting

and

3.5% at grocery and wholesale stores

Premium card gets you 2.625% on non-category purchases.

(also $100 global entry credit, and a $100 airline incidental credit, so easy enough to offset the $95 annual fee)




So this can set you up with, for example:

Cash personal card giving 5.25% on online shopping and 3.5% groceries/wholesale clubs ($2500 per quarter cap on this BTW that's the nearest thing to a "catch")

Biz card giving 5.25% on gasoline

Premium giving 2.625% on non-category spend.


That's pretty solid for non-travellers as far as reward rates.

(travellers obviously would still mostly prefer things like 5x UR or TYP or 3-4x MR in those categories... and maybe 1.5x UR or 2x TYP or MR on non-category)

10 business days as a credit officer needs to manually review your application and decide whether to approve or deny, and if approved, how much of a credit line they should give you.

If you can't stand the 10 day waiting period, you can call the reconsideration line to check the status and they will make a spot decision.

5% walmart (and paypal) are only for this quarter as part of the rotating 5% category.

Apparently Chase approved me. Interesting though, they cut my credit limit on my chase sapphire reserve by 50%.

What about balance transfer? Can I use this for that?
Quote from Slimeyface : actually not using a line of credit can go against you. Ask me how i know. Denied an Amex card before because of low utilization rate of an existing Amex card.

How often can these be cycled? I closed mine a year or two ago.

Is the 5/24 only chase cards or any?
