I applied for the Chase Shappire on Nov 3rd (I remember date cause it was the one day 75k offer from AMEX), and I think I may have called reconsiderations too late as they saw the AMEX on there and would not budge. I called a couple times and they kept saying no. I've had the One Pass, Hyatt, BA and Southwest cards. I currently have the last two, with enough credit limit (10.5k) to keep two cards at 5k. But they kept saying no. I think it was bc they saw I applied for the AMEX. FYI, my credit score on Experian is 744 now (about 20-30 points lower than on others due to churning, Id guess). At the time? Maybe 730
