Ask for compensation :)
LOL. Any serious suggestions? Does this happen often? How long do I have to appeal their denial of my application?

Was anyone recently able to move a line of credit in order to get approved for a card?.
I tried yesterday but they would not do it, neither do they want to pull my EQ or TU (NY). I was denied because of a experian credit freeze.

YMMV means it's possible. With AMEX they have a limit of four credit products, and that limit spans business and personal, as well as across multiple business entities. So there is an aspect of being able to close a business product to enable a personal product.

I don't have specific info about whether that applies to a credit line that was at its maximum.

I'd imagine that they have a limit for personal, a limit for business, and an overall limit that they are willing to extend to you. If the right combination of those limits is in play, shifting CL could work.
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

Got approved for the simply cash business card which offers 6, 9, or 12 months 0% Apr, depending on creditworthiness. I only got 9 months. Can I call recon to get better terms?

Did double app today and got pending further review on one, and wait 24 hours on the other. I called recon and they approved the pending one, and shifted the other app's status from wait 24 hours to pending review. Rep told me they already pulled my CR and the application is complete, just needs to go to some other dept for final something or other but that they can't do anything more than that.

Anyone else gotten that before?
