Do you guys think it's worth giving the reconsideration line a try tomorrow? Any particular thing I could mention?
Since I've benefited from ft a lot, I thought I give an update: I called the reconsideration line yesterday and was approved after giving my data again. The agent said that it looks I was instantly denied due to some Dividend Miles issue without a credit pull. He then told me that he'd be happy to manually look at this but would then need my permission to pull my credit. I gave permission and was approved while still on the phone with him.
