I am interested in this card, but I think I am gonna wait till we have a real landing page indicating the bonus, I know its probably fine, but I am not in that much of a hurry.

How many these "preferred" customers will stay to pay the 2nd year's $450 fee would be the big test which Chase is willing to wait for.

I will. I eat out for lunch and dinner practically every day. I also fly to Cleveland from Charlotte several times per year, and to Vegas once or twice per year. Then factor in all of the other traveling that I do. This card will be well worth it for me.

Approved online for my spouse. She was at 4/24.
Not CPC but chase customer.
All 4 in last 24 were charge cards, personal.
Credit and income high.

30 day message for me. I already called recon and the lady said nothing she could do to push it through. I think I was at 4/24, not CPC, 750ish FICO, ~$70k income. I am already pretty extended with Chase credit - overall Chase credit limit is about $20k. I'll happily move credit around to get 100k bonus.

Basically same result that I had (3/24, roughly same FICO, higher income but also higher credit limit right now). Called and told to wait for the letter because he "couldn't get into my application". May try again later, but I am somewhat encouraged by the fact that the 5/24 people are being told immediately over the phone that they are denied while people like you and I are still sitting "pending". I'm also happy to move credit around, I have $36k on my CSP that I can drop to like $10k when I switch it to FU.

Does anybody have prior experience with pending due to address verification? both the banker in-branch and recon guy told me they thought that could be the reason. I don't understand why that can't be done in-branch, online, by fax or over the phone.

If you go into the bank and have a Private client account, can that get you around the 5/24 rule?

Applied via link and got pending review. Called reconsideration line, moved some credit and was recommended for approval. Believe I am at 4/24 based off 2 cards falling off report in July.

Instant Approval for 10k. Sitting at 5/24 before application.

No relationship with chase other than CCs.

I called reconsideration less than 5 minutes after getting the "Pending" status. Approved after about 5 minutes on the phone.

Folks, the 100K bonus is alive on this link. I confirmed when I called reconsideration line. Just apply now.

compuser1973 Aug 22, 2016 8:16 am

Called Chase - rep said can't just yet apply on the phone but said application should be available online (which I knew :-)) but also confirmed that 100k was standard for all applications.

I applied and was approved instantly for 16K. I am well under 5/24...

gm9928 Aug 22, 2016 8:16 am

Got "7-10 days" message. Way over 5/24. I won't bother to call.

slickvik Aug 22, 2016 8:17 am

Approved 4/24 but maybe 3/24 because I opened amex platinum in July. It said will arrive 7-10 days.
