Wife and I had the same issue. Both of us just got approved for the Platinum card. Interesting because neither of us had issues with the Chase Continental card for 50K , United for 50K, BA for 100K, AA for 75K, etc. All of the credit limits are much higher for those cards as well. Bit of a slap in the face for applying for it, but its all part of the game. I sent a message via the website asking for the 35K credit, we'll see what happens.
