OK. While we were in Germany, I applied for this new card, figuring 100K UR and 3X on travel and dining would be great, especially as I have a huge cruise payment due in June. I was told it was under consideration but of course when I got home I had been rejected too many cards.
I called reconsideration line and got an agreeable man (with a NY accent!) who asked several questions and seemed most concerned with my total credit outstanding with Chase so suggested swapping some from Sapphire Preferred. He then asked what sort of limit I was seeking.
I went low($12,000) figuring my wife's higher limit would enable us to charge big ticket items in tandem since we can combine the points and I really wanted the 100K bonus for signup.
I was then put through to a nice woman in Verfication Department and after only two fairly short holds, I was approved! It already shows up on my online Chase site so all should be good.
