    For those of you wondering about the Amex lending card limit, it used to be 5, but the 4 card limit was confirmed by Amex last year via Twitter, here is the tweet for your reference bit.ly/3Erqp2H

    I got the Amex Gold in February, and they gave me the no preset limit. No need for another Amex card. I eat out a lot so I love the x4 points on restaurants. Just received the 60,000 point welcome bonus. I have a dynamic 1 2 punch with Chase Reserve and Amex Gold.

    I’m well over 5/24, but today I logged into my chase account and scrolled down to see special offers. They said I was already approved for either a freedom flex, and freedom unlimited, or a sapphire preferred all with 5k limits. I was super geeked when I saw that and I thought it was some glitch or maybe a preapproval offer. Nope, my freedom flex is already showing up in my chase account and my card is on its way.

    I think the reason why Chase removed the adding of family members online for points transfer feature was because of increasing online hacks in which points were siphoned from accounts after an online breach and Chase noticed the pattern/issue. In the meantime, this new extra step of phoning it in is to have higher level customer authentication before adding another UR account and sending the points.

Didn’t touch credit for 12 ish years. And November of 20 I looked up your videos and gave capital one and Apple Card a go. Both approved me and now here I am. 15ish months later, 6 credit cards and a car loan later. 720 is my lowest credit score of the 3.

    is there any difference between Chase Sapphire preferred and chase ink preferred in benefits? I applied for a business checking account they give you $300 with a $2,000 deposit but... there's this new offer I found at Dr of credit which says they give you 750 if you deposit 20 grand. do you know if I can change the offer for the latter. I open the account 2 weeks ago and I haven't got the bonus yet since it has to be 2 months for you to get the bonus.

    Yes. On the Ink Preferred, you won’t get any more than 1x on dining, but you’ll get 3x in travel. Also, the CDW benefit is primary only if a rental car was used for business purposes, but otherwise is secondary. Sapphire Preferred’s CDW is primary. Sapphire Preferred gets you the multipliers for online groceries and streaming, as well as the $50 hotel credit and 10% anniversary point bonus.

    Iv been with Chase for 14 years they never given me a credit increase! I use Chase more than any other card. I have 4 cards with them Chase freedom Unlimited which is the first card I received with them. The Freedom, the Sapphire Preferred and the Flex card. I have 19k on CSP, 9500 CF, 20k on Flex all I wanted was for them to increase my credit limit on CFU from 8300 to around 20k. I payoff my balance every month and My credit score is 807 and I only use 2% utilization of all my credit. They still wanted to do a hard pull (hate hard pulls) even after I told them I never received an increase. I know I can move credit around but I want more credit bc it helps keep my utilization down and push my score higher.

    I'm in a similar boat, though I only have a Freedom Unlimited. Had it for nine years now and my limit has been 8500 for the past four. I called to ask for a limit bump, declined when they stated it would be a hard pull. (Aside - this BUGS me, I have an existing relationship, and Chase knows I have excellent credit...) Associate on the phone told me just to keep my annual income updated and limit increases would come. Honestly, I think it's because to them I am a super dirtbag who pays in full every month. I get it, they're not making any money on me and I'm not carrying a balance... Also with Chase, I have been pre-approved for Preferred or Reserve for years now, but have never taken them up as I do about zero travel each year. The wife and I are boring folks who stay at home. Those two cards don't do much for me. I've noticed that the pre-approved credit limits Chase is willing to extend to me have gone down down down especially in 2021 and 2022. Cool, I get it, the economy certainly appears to be changing so perhaps prudence is warranted, but honestly, Chase isn't doing much to entice me. I'm at the point that if you're offering less than a 20k limit I don't have time for that nonsense (and again, those two cards, Reserve especially, do nearly nothing for me in terms of rewards). Long comment, I know, but I'm finding that I get much better products/offers from the more niche institutions that not everyone has access to. Navy Federal and USAA have far more attractive products for me these days.

    Hey Ben. This is incredible. I missed an opportunity to credit card stack when I applied for my new NF Go Rewards CC which I got 25,000 credit limit YAY!!! My FICO score was 830-840 by the time I applied for the NF Card and I had been a member of NF for 1 year. I don't have any chase cards and the only other credit card is my Discover It Card. I didn't think to apply for Chase Safire Preferred or any of the cards until it was too late. I'm still waiting for my NF CC in the mail. When do you think is the best time for me to apply for a Chase card whether it be Chase Flex or Safire Preferred? Thanks in advance.
