No Chase Freedom for me :(

February 21st, 2012 at 05:45 pm

I was going to open a Chase Freedom Card for rewards. I was going to get it mainly because they were tempting me with $300 for opening bonus, but I was also going to use it for reward categories.

But I had to wait many months to do it - I was in a middle of a refinance and did not want a chance of a new credit application messing up my refi rate.

Now, after we closed on a refi, I called to apply, but the offer has expired. Frown The best they offered me was $100. I guess they got too fed up with people who took advantage by opening multiple cards, collecting over $1,000 and than closing them, so they are no longer so generous, even to perfect credit potential customers.

I declined opening it for $100. Not worth it. Frown

    Try applying online, I think you can still get it. This is a link from fatwallet.com and is the usual Chase application page: https://applynowdc1.chase.com/FlexAppWeb/renderApp.do?SPID=DN52

    Try that, and otherwise just keep an eye out. The deals come and the deals go. Direct mail offers tend to be better than mass online offers, too.

    Deals come in cycles. There is always something better if you just wait for it!
