Yes, Chase usually will approve if you're willing to re-allocate credits from another card. But sometimes it depends, on your history with them.
When was the last time you applied for Chase cards?
Did you churn their cards a lot, or ever abuse their promotion such as Chase AAPR 5% card for use not as intended?
Recently, any unusual or bad history with Chase? If so, they might blacklisted you.

I've had that issue with my Mother's application for the United card. She just got approved for the Priority card 3 days ago.
Anyway...even after moving some credit over, they said that it needs to be processed and verified. And they gave me a different number to call.
1-877-470-9042
Try calling that number? It's the "Verification/Fraud" Department. Maybe it'll work? Who knows?
Good Luck! ^^

EDIT: They gave me a call themselves. They confirmed that the card has been approved with the 65k signup bonus and they're going to expedite the card.
I'll probably send them a secure message later on and see if they'll give me the statement credit as well.

Congratulations! So what did they want to verify exactly? I assume it is a verification of your mother's identity since they only asked for her driver's license?

Applied this card yesterday and was turned down since it would be my 5th card with Chase. Called the lending department at 888-245-0625 right after submitting and asked the analyst to move some credit.
Surprisingly, the application was not instantly approved after moving my existing CL. The analyst said it would go through processing and I would receive the card or the notification letter in 14 days.
I called again this morning and was told the same thing. The analyst said there were nothing they could do to expedite the processing.
Anyone had similar experiences like this? I thought Chase would always approve applications if I didn't ask for more credit?

Maybe you meant no more for the next 6 months. There are so many great Chase offers available right now. After 2013, they might not even be around.
I am getting at least one Chase card every 4-6 months, either by move credit lines around, or offer to close out one with annual fee due date is coming up.
Can't imagine myself passing up these juicy offers.

Just applied for my mother.
Got the Pending notice.
So I called recon @ 888-245-0625
The agent placed me on hold for 2-3 minutes and approved the card.
She also verified that she could see that the bonus offer was 80,000 points.
So as of 10/12/2012, the link in the OP still works. WooHoo!

Howdy- I see that folks are still getting the 80k signup bonus but I'm wondering if folks are confirming the annual free night as well? Thanks!

I've never seen anyone post any problems getting the free night (in this nor in the annual free night thread). The annual free night, platinum status, 10% rebate on award bookings and more are all published perks of this card.
