I called the reconsideration line and didn't make as much progress as I hoped.
Some background:
Yesterday I applied online for my wife for the Chase Marriott card and was instantly approved. After that I applied for the Sapphire card also and it said pending approval.
So I had my wife call today and then give phone to me. The CSR said it was rejected just because of two applications so close together. I asked what we could do and she said she could reconsider it. So I asked her to do that. She put me on hold for a couple of minutes to review the application. Then she came back and asked questions about what she saw on the application and credit report. After reviewing it, she said she would send all information to the right people for review and I would know within two weeks.
I was hoping for her to tell me she would approve it. But, she didn't do that. I fear that means it will just be rejected. Anyone else have an experience like this? Any suggestions? Should I call back in a couple of days?
