Here are my priorities:
2) United/Continental.

Don't forget, CO and UA are two different cards with two individual signup bonuses. Since you're referring to this "all 3 cards" I thought I'd point this out since really you're looking at 4 cards. Many people report getting the signup bonuses on both, but I don't know if anyone has tried the CO and UA cards together in a 3BM (could be a tough sell to get that one past a knowledgeable recon rep?). The CO card will be going away sometime in the near future when those cards get merged with the UA MileageExplorer card.

"All 3 cards" as in Sapphire, Ink Bold and EITHER Continental OR United.
I take it since, as you say, the CO will be going away soon, I should go for that one over the United one?
Can I also get the links for the UA/CO 50K?

I implied that already by telling you to go for the IB/SP/CO in your first 3BM. You can Dan's 30k linky and get matched to 50k via SM.

Would you mind sharing the wording you used? I seem to get the same mechanical answer about the offer and invitation code every time I try to match.

didnt use an offer code, just generically said I applied for 25k offer but was looking to get matched on the 50k. I think that only the 80k offer needs offer code and SM is not giving out the 80k anymore

Can you hook me up with the linky and possibly any useful tips to successfully do the 3bm, such as (maybe) click submit on IE 1st since it's the slowest and mozilla and chrome will catch up to it (?)?

A few seconds either way won't hurt you.

What's the minimum annual income for Chase to consider my application/s?

Don't you have any 'other' or 'household' income?

If your income is low, find defensible ways to inflate it.

Such as?
You mean for the application or to be prepared in case I have to talk to recon?

The application just needs a number, You'll have to explain that number to recon. They don't ask you to verify it and IME if you sound confident you can tell them all kinds of things which'll fly.

Fefferkorn · « **Reply #57 on:** December 09, 2011, 02:35:18 AM »

And what's the minimum number that Chase will consider good enough for an automated approval?
I'm asking this because I've heard that every bank has a minimum amount that if you write less than that amount on the application, they automatically reject you, this has especially been enforced lately after the recession. Even the automated system could reject an application based on that.
So, to pass that hurdle and, at the same time, to be able to sound as credible as possible with recon, what amount would I be safe writing as my annual income?

If you have justification, you can get away telling recon you earn six figures as well.

I'm confident people get approved with ~15-20k via recon. What amount can you work with?

Fefferkorn · « **Reply #59 on:** December 09, 2011, 02:55:04 AM »

I've always entered amounts like 120K-180K and I've done well (never spoke to any recon dept though).
What kind of things can I tell the "which'll fly"?
