I guess I'm considered unreliable borrower.
Did you apply to any creditcards the past 6 months

I got the same message and had to call them. Something on your record is mismatch on their end and they want to verify it's really you that submitted the application. Call took 5 min and instantly approved. Good Luck!

That could be the case. Last time Chase didn't have my SSN on file (I guess checking/savings accounts and marriot/amazon/united credit cards don't have it). Bask like didn't like VPN etc.

Mon, Aug 8: Arrived (envelope is the larger style, about 1.5 width of standard evelope, and slightly plain that says important account information enclosed. PO box from St Louis, MO.
Hope that helps anyone who's anticipating their card arrival. Email said to contact them if not received by the 12th.
Property tax. Income tax. Insurance. Water bill. Pge. Trash bill. Adult stuff which you probably will have to pay once you grow up and move out of mommy's place.
what is the fastest time to redeem the points for cash back once we cross the 4k limit and been awarded the bonus point..Instant redeem or have to wait 1 year??
Got approved (819 score) for a low 8,000. Will probably only make a single charge (son's tuition) before trying to downgrade it. Do we have to wait a certain amount of time before downgrading?
If you don't hold on to the card for at least a year they could charge you back for the points for abusing their promotion.
Can I buy a few gift cards if I'm shy of the $4000 / 3mo quota?
I personally wouldn't do this. Best bet is to overpay on recurring bills such as utilities or a phone bill. Could also ask friends/family if you could use your card for a payment and have them reimburse you in cash.
Not sure if there would be any repercussions if you were to load an Amazon account balance, as the fine print probably excludes gift cards and cash equivalents, though I'm sure some people have gotten away with it.
