That denial rationale doesn't line up to me with a biz card application.  Check for user error.

Keep in mind they will put out offers with personal banking clients with big $ with them. Could be an offer for the same for business?

This makes more sense, I had to "sign in to apply". I rotate through co branded business cards, so I have the login, didn't think twice when it asked for it. Thanks.

Got denied for the 100k Ink card yesterday

amex mumped me like that for churning b.c., but chase has always treated me well.

Amex plat adding 320 in credits for streaming services and cell phone bills might keep me a member through the non travel 2020 year.

Word is Chase is tightening up quite a bit on approvals. Sucks.

I've been lazy about playing the Freedom quarterly game. I've kept everything on my Ink Biz Preferred.

Groceries are the Freedom quarterly currently. Kroger booze store counts. :)

after cancelling our july kauai trip I'm sitting on millions of points/miles and am getting worried that there is a massive devaluation coming across almost all brands. going to try to book them all up now.

I just applied and was approved for a SW personal card with a 40k point bonus so I can get the companion pass for 2020/2021. Received the 75k business bonus on like January 2nd. Had to wait out my 24 months to get another personal and then have been waiting for the bonus to increase, but it just wasn't happening. Finally just ripped the bandaid off so I can get the pass and move on to other cards.

For whatever reason, Chase seems to be mushing Mrs. Wondermeal v hard on any of her new applications, which doesn't make sense since we have the same credit history and she is under 5/24. Misogyny?

Help me out here. I read it twice and besides lower renewal (which I wouldn't be able to redeem because I'll have cancelled it before next year) I don't see a huge added benefit?

You get the full benefit of booking travel through their site (1.25 or 1.50 multiplier) on restaurants, grocery stores & Lowes/Home Depot. It looks like it works just like the Venture charge eraser. Log into your bill and use points to clear off charges at those places instead of just being able to use it on travel. Have $125 or $150 grocery charge, use $100 worth of points to clear it off.

It’s still not the absolute best redemption but it’s pretty nice. And you are earning 3x points on travel and dining. So spend $100 out to eat. Then you can just cancel $4.50 of charges. So like 4.5% cash back on travel and dining. Of course, you can transfer those points to Hyatt, United, Southwest, etc. too.
