I was denied on a recent Ink Bold app, but the automated line gives the "2 weeks" message. Draw your own conclusions.

Update: just received denial mail, so absurd. It said my maximum credit from Chase was reached, and not long enough biz history.
What's my chance if I call to relocate some credit from other cards? Advice needed. Thx

If you do call, please post your results here. I am curious to know if they would even consider it since the Bold is no longer a product offered by Chase.

Applied bold before it was gone on 10/20, was given a ref# and asked to call asap. Called next morning, after being grilled by JASON for 15 mins, got approved with 5k. Today I called the automatic line to check the status, got notification within 7-10 days message. Is that normal? I heard 7-10 days message usually meant denial . Worried

Ink Bold <possibly> dead in Colorado branches
Just wanted to report a data point. I went into a Chase branch last Friday, Oct 24 here in Colorado to apply for an Ink Bold before it went away. From what I read on frequent miler's blog, it is supposed to go away November 16. However, it looks like it is already dead in Colorado (or just the branch I went to). The person who helped me at the branch said that their systems won't even let him put in an application for the Ink Bold. I don't know if they were just driving people away from the Ink Bold and to the Ink Plus instead but he did not seem deceitful to me.
Anyway, I applied for the Ink Plus 70k instead, called recon, got asked questions regarding my business, told the I reached maximum exposure, sent to another department for review, and finally, had to send in my business paperwork for them to verify my business. Should have a final decision by Monday or Tuesday. Man, I did not get this much scrutiny for my Ink Bold and first Ink Plus (both sole proprietorship/ssn).
