I have had a credit card with a cl of $1000 for over a year now and im thinking of applying for a good card to accumulate points. I want to apply for the chase sapphire preferred or reserve, is it worth applying for multiple chase cards with the three browser method? what about other cards such as an amex? thanks.

Do the Chase apps first.  They don't (usually) approve cards if you've had more than 5 cards from any bank opened in the last 24 months.

CPC, occasionally mumbo jumbo snows the recon rep

CPC, occasionally mumbo jumbo snows the recon rep

CPC doesn't work anymore and please show me a case where anyone has convinced a recon rep to overrule 5/24.

[ckmk47]

It occurs to me that syrkadyrk has a credit line of $1000 on his existing card.  He may not get approved for too many more cards as it is.
Good luck, syrkadyrk.  apply to chase for several cards.  In the order of the ones you really want.  call recon if you're rejected.
For tips there are threads on: 2,3BM method,  chase recon.

I didn't know CPC stopped working.  I've been dreaming of getting it.
I was rejected for the SR for 5/24. I called and told them, and this is partly the truth, that I was an AU on my adult children's cards, but was not responsible for paying those bills. That was the key phrase they wanted to hear.  I was approved.

You were under without UAs then, many people have been able to get approved by claiming that they're not responsible for AU'S, I'm talking about really being over 5/24.

Maybe.  After I wrote the last post, I started to figure out what my number really is.  Indeed I have opened fewer than 5 new cc's in the last 24 months!
