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 Target® or Walmart® 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!

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

Are u sure? I just called a chase rep and they said this card does not have ANY rotating categories. Is she wrong? Cant even find rotating categories anywhere on the app or website.

Apparently Chase approved me. Interesting though, they cut my credit limit on my chase sapphire reserve by 50%.
Could you describe your call with reconsideration. Did they say "we will approve you if you agree that we can cut your sapphire reserve credit line by 50%?"

The unlimited card does not have rotating categories.

No, this card gives you a fixed 1.5% in addition to other fix categories at certain %. You will need to get the Flex to have revolving 5%.

How long does it take for the $200 bonus to be paid out? I called and got maybe after hrs support and they told me it would take at least to the close of this cycle for even items like grocery store purchases to get 5% cash back.

Applied and they said they'll get back to me. My Experian shows above 800 score but only 1 Credit card and no inquiry in last 7 years. We'll see

Yes, I don't think this card has the quarterly cycle like the flex although some youtubers had ranted about it. I just opened mine. The card that has quarterly rotating category 5% bonus is the New Chase Freedom FLEX, NOT the Freedom Unlimited. I read through the offer details. Dance13Pls DM me if you want a referral code for Freedom Unlimited (You get $200 from the referral, but I'm not sure if it's additional to the $200 offer after $500 spent).Applause Anyhow The reason why I choose the Unlimited over Flex is because ALL OTHER purchases gets 1.5% and You can't use FLEX at Costco since it's a master card. I go to Costco a lot so it does matter to me that I can use my UNLIMITED. Hope that helps. nod

In response to both of you ,I read in the details that it takes 6-8 weeks to process that $200 bucks after your $500 spent. Hope that helps. Roll
