I had to call in to verify my identity and the rep did mention that if I wanted to close one of the latest cards, he could then approve me for the hyatt....hmm. Is it worthwhile to call the reconsideration line? Any other tips? 4 cards in one month may be pushing it I had/have 3 long standing chase cards prior to this all in perfect standing.
