because i didn't want to pay the annual fee, they were very difficult about waiving it
And i'm hoping you transfered the CL...?

Yes, but i have such a large CL with chase and i use so little of it (real spending is always on a business card) that it doesn't really matter..

I have SP mastercard at the moment. I could apply for the visa and close the MC via recon. I'm asking if anyone's done it twice, because that's what i'm trying to do, and if they're getting more difficult about it i would assume this would be getting harder, no?

They are allowing having one SP open. So if you offer to transfer CL and close your current SP there shouldnt be problem.

And, on an unrelated note, does anyone know of any american cc's that come with those chips they use in Europe? I had a very annoying moment in a cab at CDG airport in Paris where none of my cards, neither american nor Israeli, would work. Good thing i always carry some US dollars...
Hyatt credit card from chase

You can get the Hyatt card waived the first year if that helps.

You can try converting to a non preferred card. But the preferred card carries a fee whether it is visa or WMC.

I am pretty sure Dan and others have 2 open.
I recently had a WMC and applied for a visa trying to have both at once and was declined, I spoke to many reps, but basically the supervisor told me straight out having the visa AND wmc wasn't the problem. They just didn't want an additional 5k exposure with my total chase line (I am young and relatively new to the game) so in the end I closed my WMC to open the new visa. But they made it seem like having both was possible.

I know many people including members in my family currently have both SP's.
What I meant to say is if you tried getting both now they will give a really hard time...harder than a few months ago.  I guess you kinda got lucky with almost pushing it through.

I hear and agree. I wonder has anyone ever gotten instant approval on a sapphire visa while having a WMC open? I bet it takes a phone call every time.
