Easiest online and can be done on day you want unfrozen.

I chose to unfreeze Equifax for Chase. When I applied online, I did not receive instant approval so within an hour I called Chase Reconsideration line. When asked if CSR was able to pull my credit report, he said "no". I asked him to pull up Equifax which he did and then approved my Explorer Card.
