I'm looking for some advice here...
I currently have the Ink Bold and it is up for my second renewal in November. I put 5x spend on this card with utilities (cable and cell phone) and buy GCs at office supply stores to the tune of about $2500 a month. Occasionally I'll mix in a little other spend like gas and hotels.
I'd like to apply for the Ink Plus 70K offer as I'd like to get the bonus (duh!) and I'd also like to convert from a charge card to a card I *could* carry a balance on if I chose to. My *ahem*, part-time 'business' reported a small profit of $873 early this year to Chase during another reconsideration call where I was denied the Chase Southwest Business card. My business was too new and didn't make enough profit they said. They wanted to see a longer term relationship before granting me another business card.
Which option has the best chance of success?
1) Cancel Ink Bold now before AF hits and apply for Ink Plus online before the deadline.
2) Apply for Ink Plus online and offer to close Ink Bold in reconsideration.
3) Apply for Ink Plus online and let it ride.
I need to act quickly as I believe the deadline is the 10th for the Ink Plus 70K.
