I have 2 chase cards that used to be WAMU. Perfect pay history. I keep those for credit history as I applied for them in 2006.

i'd call them with your reference and see what you can do over the phone. you may have to move some credit lines or cancel one of the cards

Chase-How many accounts are currently allowed?
I have researched similar threads on FT but nothing comes up recently so here goes my question. I'm interested in the new Chase Marriott card offer. I currently have 3 Chase accounts (Priority Club, Sapphire, and Southwest) with about $2,000 per month charged monthly on the three cards. The PC card is old, Sapphire is from the late spring 2011 and the Southwest card is from this summer. How long should I wait to apply for the Marriott card? Will Chase give me 4 accounts (my FICO is 792)? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Happy travels!

I have never gone down that path. Is this difficult? Does it impact your credit score to have a card company deny you and then issue the card after a phone call.

It is completely a YMMV situation. What I was told was that for ME, I could be allowed no more than two "new" cards every 6 months. So, if you are denied, just call the reconsideration line, and it should have no effect on your credit score any more than just a "new" credit card (hard pull, new account, lower average age of accounts, etc.)
I got four Chase cards in the last year. If you get a denial, call the reconsideration line and offer to lower the limit on one of your other cards or close one of your other cards and they should be happy to do that and approve the new card. Of course YMMV. Works for most.

I have 4 Accounts right now and the CSR told me that I would have no problem getting the Mariott card for my 5th chase account, even without moving credit around. I have about a 750 score and I was spending $3-5k a month between my chase cards. On the other hand literally 18 months ago they wouldn't give me a $500 card for my business so I don't know what their criteria really are, but they seem to me to be super strict, or super lenient.

Currently have 5 Chase accounts. Was surprised I didn't even have to call for the last one. - Although the two before that I did.
