Same here - declined for same reason, which seemed strange since others with BA card got through fine. The rep was adamant that I can't get the card and I didn't even get offered to close out my BA card (which is the ONLY other chase card I have). If I were you, I'd get it in writing. (I wouldn't know if I want to cancel BA since they have some pretty sweet promotional offers these days).

By the way, that's the lending department number. They have the decision, but I swear, I think they absolutely loathe to give you the decline decision over the phone (just as much as we dislike hearing it, I suppose ). They would rather say it's still in review and that ...you'll hear in 2 two weeks (even though they already have the decision right in front of them most of the time!) The wait can be brutal!

But all my cards currently have balances so he couldn't do it now. He said "call back after you've paid off a card & canceled it". Hope this works.
