    If chase says no you can appeal. Which you will want to do asap. And they have bankers hours for the most part. 9pm Monday might even be too late

    If you double dip you might have to do it even pending. Which is the risky part

    God speed

    are you talking CC’s only? I was told you can’t combine business checking and personal CC into the same login.

    I have one log in on the app that takes me to three options: personal accounts (checking, saving, personal cards) then business checking, and lastly business cards. It definitely can be done.

    Yes - I have seen people approved for multiple SW cards. I haven’t seen much talk in here about the United Explorer card, but if you go with the Hyatt or SW, please use one of our referrals. Free ~$150.

    Do you know if three is the limit they’ll issue to one individual?

    What types of businesses did you use when applying for three separate CIP cards?

    My wife and I both have 3 CIP's right now. There is no known hardfast limit. So as long as you keep your velocity low and C/I ratio below 50% you can get as many as you want until they turn you down. I know there are data points with people getting 7+ of them.

    As for the business just whatever you feel comfortable with. I say I sell used merchandise.

  17. Zabka

    When you say you sell used merchandise, are you using that for every application, or mixing it up for each application?

    I have two CIPs. One for my S-Corp business that is my primary source of income, and a second for a sole-prop that is me managing rental properties. Both are very legit, but for someone pushing things further for additional cards, would you add additional sole-props with different lines of business?

    I don't MS and I go back and forth between my wife and I so it works out where it keeps my velocity good. So usually get a new card every 2 months so each person gets a new card approximately every 4 months.

    When I say I sell used merchandise I put that on every application. I sell my used textbooks, used house items, etc on ebay, facebook, and amazon. I want to say I put that I do 3k in revenue and have been at it for 7 years. It does not have to be complicated or anything. You should not have any issue (as far as I know of) getting a CIP3 especially if they are legitimate businesses.

    So AA won't let you pay for a flight in part points/part cash? Instead they make you purchase more airlines points at a ridiculous rate? Fuck them.

    Do you know if they will allow you to use CIP2 as a referral when applying for CIP3? I've always used my wife as a referral, which works just as well, but I'm curious if they will allow you to refer yourself.

    The Chase reconsideration line hours of operation are usually: 7am to 10pm EST Monday through Friday. 8am to 1 pm EST Saturday.

    So do it with that in mind

    There aren't enough data points to know exactly how it works but I'd do 8:30pm et and and 8am et. I'd try to go under 12 hours but as always, I'm extra cautious with chase

    Just to make CF3234 feel better, I give a lot of advice but sometimes I fuck up too. And I made a comedy of errors on my return trip:

    1. I didn't know AA doesn't upgrade award seats, even with platinum pro
    2. I upgraded my return with points...only to find out I had the wrong airplane layout so my seats weren't layflat
    3. I showed up to the admirals club but wasn't let in (first only gets you in on international, not just long-haul anymore)
    4. I thought my meal selection was for my redeye not my connection so I was very hungry until I asked for my breakfast to be served five hours early

    I'm human too

    shit happens. Still needed the card because my CC game was weak as fuck. Just won't get to double dip on points.
