Is this a new thing?
Wanted to say hello, hear if my Chase situation is a common occurrence...
Maybe excessive? That's
extremely excessive. Most people don't even apply for 10 cards over the course of 30 years. You did it in 24 hours.
Why are you surprised Chase revoked one of your cards? You're lucky they even gave you the option to keep either of them.
