Finally got accepted for the Chase United after what seems like a thousand applications :).  Received the letter saying I got it but with a reduced credit line, however it says I can transfer a credit line. So I am thinking about transferring my CO card limit and cancelling that card. What do you folks think?

Also, what is the current offer for United card? I don't remember what it was when I applied :)
Thanks
S

Anyone have luck receiving a bump from 30k to 50k for the new Explorer card? I have the 50k offer, but my wife has the 30k offer, and I want to sign her up at this point.

I know ppl have had luck with the old cards, just don't know if they have had the same luck with newer card.

edit: just saw that last yr, ppl didn't have luck. Any updated data points?

Where did you see that? I don't know of anyone that asked within 90 days and hasn't been matched.
And what's a new card? The card hasn't changed?

That post is quite old, matching is alive and well for 50K UA, 50K SWA, and 30K Freedom.  Just did all 3 myself within the last week.

So it's no longer just for Elite's? Do you think that was simply when they first rolled out the card?

BTW, did you do them all in one SM or 3 separate SM's?

I tried logging in from IE instead of Firefox, and her account had the 50k offer. Odd...
