1. I obtained enough credit and my credit history with Chase wasn't long enough;
2. My business was "too new" (really???!)
Suggesting to move credit lines around didn't help either as he said my accounts were too new...
I will now wait 6 months from the denial date to reapply. At that point, I will have had 1+ year of on-time payments with Chase, and I would be ready to close my UA card if need be. Do you think I stand good odds to be approved? My credit score is >720.
thanks!
I'm in the same boat as you. I got approved for Chase Southwest, Freedom & CSP within the last 6 months. Recently applied for Ink Plus but got rejected. They told me the same things i.e. you've obtained enough credit and business is too new. I had a score of 709. I guess waiting for 6 months is a good idea.
