My friend was approved for the CSR after previously being rejected. Since yesterday was the last day of the 100k sign up bonus, I thought there was a chance that 5/24 was being overlooked and there was a chance that I would get one past the goalie.
Last time when I applied, I was rejected immediately. This time Chase said it needed more information. Too impatient to wait for a result, I called recon and was told within seconds that I was rejected and was given the 5/24 reason.
When will the madness end? I still think approval is a bad thing.
Anyone pull of the heist of the century and get approved despite 5/24? Keep it to yourself.
TPOL, i was approved (i was 4/24 at the time), but here’s my unorthodox opinion – this card kinda sucks. yes, the value absolutely justifies the annual fee. and yes, getting the 100k was fantastic. but on an ongoing basis…what does this card do for me? $50/extra a year (over the CSP) to get 3x instead of 2x? 1.5x on redemptions? if i’m redeeming points in that fashion, i’m sort of wasting them. and all the other benefits are duplicated by other cards i have….point is, you’re not missing out on much. i have much more fun w/ the Prestige and Amex Plat – each deliver much more value, to me at least.
i wanted the 100k! hahah but i appreciate you comforting me in my time of rejection
CSR is good for people who just want one card and not worry about maximizing (most of our SO for example). The priority pass membership from CSR is the best version too, my friend just used it to take her whole family into a couple of lounges.
The ‘elite’ status from Amex plat isn’t that useful to avg people who travel once or twice a year, I have plenty of friends who stay at W hotels every couple months and didn’t even sign up for SPG program.
Also many friends who know about churning but still doesn’t care to apply for credit cards because they’re worried about tracking credit cards and payments (don’t ask me who they have time to play games on iPhone but not to sign up for autopay). I have friends who still play $450 on AA Executive even though he’s never flown AA, because he is too ‘lazy’ to cancel. But these are the type of people Chase is targeting and succeeded, as all of them asked me about CSR and applied.
ahah u just described my friend perfectly
i cancelled AA exec!
Haaaa i told him it was spot on
but i did pay the annual fee again cause i forgot to call until it was 5 days past the deadline oops 🙁
So stupid
but then i got to escape work people and hide in AA lounge and when we had an 8 hour delay coming back from Iceland I probably drank half of the annual fee in beer. these are the mental gymnastics i am using to justify my laziness
if i wrote as part of keep vs cancel that beer in the lounge was a reason, you’d flip out
I got rejected online but got approved within five minutes within a Chase bank.
Ah nice.
hahaha
i was approved at 22/24, my better half at 19/24
im not mad at u haa, im mad at chase
