I will be brief.
I received a Cap1 Quicksilver and Discover IT in March, and applied for Chase Amazon 8/8, Barclay Upromise 8/10, and Chase AARP 8/18.
Scores: Quizzle (8/17) 736, Discover Scorecard (8/17) 743, Cap1 Creditwise (8/14) 752, Discover (8/12) 737, Citi (7/26) 713.
Recent HP: EX - 2, TU - 5, EQ??
On the side: How do you guys know your actual scores & HP so well and know who pulled what so quickly?
So, Barclay Upromise was painless, it wasn't insta but I called and they approved it. When I applied for Chase Amazon I got the 30 days message, I called one of the helpful numbers listed here and they wanted me to mail in proof of address so I did it. A day after I dropped the mail message became 7-10 days, but two days later return to 30 days. Then today I applied for AARP and received a message askng me to call them immediately. The rep says there are two apps processing and we went ahead to do both. He put me on hold for a few minutes and came back saying Amazon approved for $6k and AARP denied. I asked if he could do a recon and he said he would do so, then on hold for another few minutes and came back saying "this time I am unable to approve [the AARP app]". (Is the language there a little weird, or just me?)
By the way, one interesting thing is that amazon sent me an email congratulating me citing an initial CL of $5k, but both the rep and the status systems say $6k. So I start to wonder if they were tyring to increase my limit with chase to approve two Visa Sig cards for me but only went to $6k hence failed? (Again, maybe just me thinking too much)
Anyway, since I have technically recon'ed once, should I do it again or let it go?
Also, I am kind of interested in US Bank Cash+. The 2 categories 5% is sweet in case I need to buy electronics during black friday and all. But should I just wait for now?
EDIT: Just to clarify including the Chase Amazon card I have 4 new accounts in the past 24 months, so I am theoretically good with regard to the 5/24 rule (unless there is a 3/12 subrule...)
