I have my 70k ink now. Was kind of awkward applying in person without a real business and with a really nice guy who wanted to chat about my fake business.

Oh goddamnit I should have done that in Indy. There was a tall building that said Chase on it so I'm sure it would have been available somewhere.

i wanted to get one, but i wouldn't be able to handle the face to face lying. pretty unfair of them to require it.

I'm usually team #NoLie, but in this particular case I think I would actually enjoy it.

So do you just make up a totally fake business or do you pretend that a hobby you really have is a business?

"Oh yeah I have an Etsy shop where I sell knitted hats for dogs."

I always say I'm a travel blogger. which I originally had plans of being and still have the domain and everything so it's not really lying.

michigancat · « **Reply #5986 on:** August 28, 2014, 09:11:38 AM »

I did a side version of my day job, which I also had plans to monetize but don't plan on having the time for in the near future.

I sold collectable figurines online. Tough to tell revenues/profit because most of what I have sold was from my private collection that I've had for years. Travel to conferences and whatnot.

I got approved for the chase ink bold with a 20k limit, the revenue I put down for my "business" was $325. I didn't even have to call the reconsideration line!

70k UR here I come

Gonna call in on my SPG/AmEx today... Not very happy w/ them.

Setup Auto-Pay to pay in full on Aug 1. Next Payment due date was Aug 23, so I think good enough - "set it and forget it!!"

Get a late payment charge, then a finance charge. 60 some bucks. Look back at email and the Aug 1st email said it wouldn't apply until Sept 23, so I guess I overlooked that, but gonna call and raise a fuss. How does it take 20+ days for Auto Pay to go into effect.

Anyone like my chances of getting some of that money back?
