I'm wondering if they were able to see the non-reported cards (traditional thinking here says 4 should have been ok) or if they came down harder with me as an AU (I have way too many open accounts)?
I'm inclined to believe that Chase can tell which Chase cards you have even if those cards haven't made it onto a credit report yet.
