HUCA tips:

1) To avoid being told "You already called about this and were told no". The trick is to call about other things in the middle, so when the rep looks at the notes of the last few calls it's other stuff.

2) To avoid speaking to the same rep you just spoke to. The trick is to use 2 phones, so when the tzaddik answers, you quickly call on the other line and ensure you get a different one.

Back in the day when citi had the 75k AA card which at the end was only available over the phone, I called for the visa to apply and then called right back to apply for the amex when the same guy picked up.
Sounds like Fernando at discover teen (no one will get this one).
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

My wife is applying for her first credit card. (Freedom). She got declined because of no credit history. Our first call to recon resulted in a decline and she refuses to call again because she thinks she will keep getting rejected. (She doesn't like rejection :'()
She's agreed to keep calling if someone can share a instance of being approved for a Chase card after an initial rejection due to lack of any credit history.
Guys, help me out ;)

Thanks, will give a look.
Another cute thing I noticed, I opened a Amex card on Jan '13, but on the report it shows up as opened since Jan '12! (my first card with Amex was opened April '12).
This was discussed before

First off why is she calling and not you???

If she really doesn't have credit then her call ancestors are slim to none.

That doesn't mean you don't call.

Obviously I'm the one calling, I need her on the phone to verify her information before handing the phone to me.
I can't pull off a good woman's voice  ;)
She's been an AU on my a few of my cards for a while but no credit in her name.

That's not called rejection, but don't rock your SB.

First mistake you married someone with a ladies name. Mushkie ain't a problem Shprintzy isn't either.

With Chase AU is worthless. There is a thread about building credit with a good Wiki

Tell me about it :)
I'm pretty sure I can get her the card with enough HUCA, someone mentioned having HUCA'd 21 times before getting his first Chase card... Just need a success story to convince her..
In absence of that, I can get a special reconsideration letter from a banker.

Obviously shortish. IME the threshold to have credit to get approved on a biz card is higher

But you need to HUCA, because hey you never know

I believe in HUCA but my wife doesn't.
So, can anyone share a instance of being approved for a Chase card after an initial rejection due to lack of any credit history.

Because I don't feel comfortable lying about who I am on a recorded line while imitating a woman's voice.

She can talk and then hand you the phone.

When I call for my wife's cards I just say her name as if it is me. If it is a Jewish name a lot of times they wont know at least IME. Had to do this a few times in the past few days.

My wife has a very non-jewish and very female name...
