 They really wanted some documentation of my business for the SW business card.  :frown:

Okay I realize it's been talked about the past few pages but I'm still confused, so explain this to me as if it's the first time I've ever played the credit card game.

I have CSP, but have met the $4000 I needed to for the bonus. So now I should transfer it to a Freedom card for two years until I can get the CSR?

Don't transfer the points until you're going to be canceling your CSP, whether you're canceling to avoid an annual fee or so that you can get a CSR.  You can get more value out of the points with them being in your CSP account in the meantime.

i mean, spend the points if there's something you want to spend them on.  there's more points where those came from.  in the meantime, get an ink while you wait to be sapphire eligible again.  if you wait a couple of weeks until i get mine, i can send you a referral link and we all win.

No. You are going to need to provide a utility bill or registration of "fictitious business name" with the state/county or you can just tell them that you already have a Chase card in this business name and if they can verify that they will just automatically approve you.

did you try to apply for the card in some name other than your own?

Yes, it is my "business name" which partially includes part of my actual name. Do people usually just use their own actual name when applying for a business card?

yes, unless you actually have a business that isn't a sole proprietorship.  if you're using your ss#, you should use your name.

Oh, well I did the same thing before and they didn't have a problem with it. And they approved it anyway after I told them I already had a business card in that name.

I think people would probably be less apt to ask all these questions if they realized how lax credit card underwriting is.

Steve Dave, this thread is long, and I haven't really read it in like a year and a half. But, I need some help. This Chase 5/24 rule rough ridin' blows, but between my wife and I it's more like 10/24, which is not so bad. We go on one week long vacation every year, and an extended weekend getaway. We go to Disney World or Disneyland each year. If we go to Disney World then it's the week long vacation, if we go to Disneyland then it's the extended weekend. When we're not going to Disney World then our vacations are usually of the tropical variety. Knowing all that, what cards should I be prioritizing? Should I eff with Chase anymore? Or just churn the crap out of non-chase cards? I've got a fair few SPG points saved up, around 200k marriott, about 75k avios, and around 100k aa. Wife and I both have the sapphire preferred right now.

yes, your entire strategy should be based around chase cards. specifically URs since you don't have any right now. Get a CSR or CSP for each you and your wife ASAP, then Inks. Or vice versa. Referral links in the first post of this thread.
