Carl c, I have a 19 year old son as well. How did you get her a cc? Was it just in her name or did you have to co-sign. I think it is a great idea.
About 12 months ago I added her as AU to Amex, citi and Chase accounts and then a bit later applied for a Discover IT student card. We opened a Wells fargo bank account with some money in it ~500.
Beginning about 6 months ago I started trying to churn for her.
9 HP
Approved:
Amex SPG pers
Amex Hilton Surpass
Amex Hilton HHonors
Barclay US airways
Barclay A+
Chase IHG (3x,xxx CL)
Chase BA (today) (3x,xxx CL)
Declined:
SPG Bus
Chase Freedom
Citi Plat select (Citi requested IRS tax form)
She now has a credit score of 740-750. I have been leaving 1-2% credit utilization at statement close to demonstrate low credit utilization. This helps offset her student loan debt that is accruing for college.
thank you Carl, Even though I haven’t put my son as an authorized user, I may apply for this one for him. Do you know if he get’s declined, if it affects his credit score?
Success. Applied for my 19y/o and chase handed out a $3x,xxx credit line. Whoo hoo. Way to help her credit score and % credit utilization chase!
I was just approved for the standard offer a few days ago. What do you think my chances are for matching to this new offer?
I have a Q about the BA companion certificates — can they be applied to an itin with an open jaw, and other restrictions on the trip duration or # of segments? A link to some helpful info would be appreciated.
I am also assuming that the qualifying $30K spend must be accomplished in a calendar year, so starting it at the end of the year would then be a bad idea.
SHAWN, U LEFT OUT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART, THE APP LINK???
i did a quick Goog search, no avail yet?
It is on the Best Signup Offers page. I included the link to that page in the article. Here it is: https://frequentmiler.com/best-credit-card-sign-up-offers/#ChaseAirlines
We don’t generally put application links directly in the article. Sorry for the confusion.
I already have 2 cards (other banks) in my wallet with 7K spend to be done in next 3 months… I am wondering the best ways to meet the minimum spend… If I sign up for this card… makes me wonder if I will lose out on completing the minimum spend…
If we assume that each $500 in spend costs $3.95, then the following are the normalized costs/reward.
With the 3X Discover option:
0.263 ($ Spent/USD reward)
With the BA $50K: 0.222 cents/avio
With the BA $75K: 0.232 cents/avio
with the BA $100K: 0.253 cents/avio
Correction: I forgot to include the avios earned with spend.
The corrected numbers in cents/avio
50K offer — 0.213
75K offer — 0.205
100K offer — 0.211
5 inquiry limit (or any other limit) does not apply.
20 k in spending will earn 120k avios, not 100k 😉
It will earn a bonus of 100K Avios. You will also earn at least 20K more Avios for the spend, however if it is with British Airways then you will earn more than that. Thanks Grif.
anyone seeing the 5 inquiry limit with this co branded card?
Hello Shawn:
I used to have this card and closed it sometime in 2013 (don’t remember exactly when). Do you know how long you have to wait before you can apply for a new one?
Thanks!
Jose
