Not multiple of the same card. 1 Freedom Unlimited and 1 Freedom ā€” 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.*
Ā·
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!

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.

Quote from MadBunny :
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
6-8 weeks is CYA language for Chase. In reality, the bonus gets paid out when the statement showing your $500th dollar of spending is generated.

So in Aug I applied for this and was instantly denied. Couple days later I called to find out why. They gave me two reasons which made no sense has Chase approved much higher end cards for me and those items were in place.

I decided to call back yesterday but he couldn't find my denial as it had been so long. But told me at end of the day if I was still interested I'd just have to apply again. So I did. And was instantly approved.

I don't know if moving my checking account over to Chase or just having a couple more months with them made the difference. Or just a glitch.

I've been using the CSR for my main CC since I got it in like March/April. However, I have a lot of non-category spend in home utilities, insurance, etc, that I wanted 1.5x instead of 1x.

Just depends what kind of expenses you have in your budget. If most of your spend is non-category spend, then go CFU. If however you can take advantage of the quarters rotating categories, then go Flex.

My understanding is you can have both (be aware of 5/24) but u can have both.

If you plan to go Costco at all for this card, go with Unlimited.. since Flex is a MasterCard you can't use it there. It's just all about where you will spend your money more. You can check out the quarterly rotation for the 5% cash back on the Flex to see if you actually shop at those places.

Ha, Thanks for replying. I was pretty sure it wouldn't take that long from experience of Chase card bonuses. They just put that down so that we don't bother them so soon when we don't see the mula $$ right away & we'll be happy to see it sooner than 6-8weeks. Smilie

You can buy costco gift cards at costo.com with a mastercard (or discover) as an FYI then use them in-store to pay for stuff.

Not unless the new card requires a higher credit limit than what you have on your original card (typically a consideration when PC'ing to the CSR or United Club card, not a Freedom).

Which of my chase freedom cards should I keep?

I have had the chase freedom for years. I signed up for the chase freedom unlimited and freedom flex sign up bonuses. I reached both bonuses and waiting for one more to pay out. After the pay out, I want to cancel 2 of the cards. Which one should I keep?

I don't know the real difference between all of them. The Flex I don't like because they have poor integration to my online chase account. They don't let you dispute charges online or track the disputed status.

I'm really struggling to pay bills. PM me if you honestly want to a struggling person out. All you have to do is use a referral code at the time of your application. It's takes no more of your time.
