Easy in IE and FF, tricky in Chrome to find though.
Personally I just wait for the ref numbers on the letters, but there's not really a reason for that.

Dan, I applied on Friday, can still some how retreive the 3 app IDs? (did a 3BM)

Do u happen to have the number of the new account department?

Check the FAQ thread for the application status number, methinks that should work for you.

Try calling any Chase number and asking for New Accounts, get the toll free and PM Dan to add it to the FAQ :P

I applied for the Sapphire a little less than 6 months ago and got denied because I've opened too many credit cards recently and not enough credit history. Is it even worth trying to get this card, or do I have to wait at least 6 months?

Is there any reason why one shouldn't be able to get both the SW rapid rewards plus and the SW RR premiere?

I was approved for the SWA personal card in August; currently on the phone with reconsideration regarding the SWA Business card.  They are saying I will not get both 50K bonuses.  Anything I can say or do?

Tell them that's fine, you just want the card.  I'll bet you still get the bonus.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Dan, thanks for your prompt response.  I was just approved for the SWA Business card; I had them move some of my credit line from the British Airways card (my wife and I just drained our BA accounts for two Biz Class tix to HKG and BKK next fall).

With the 50K from August's Personal card, 50K from today's Business card (wish me luck!!), plus $10K in spend that I will rush through in the next few days, I hope to qualify for a companion pass for next year.

Best part of the SWA cards IMHO... better hurry with that spending, and hope the bonus hits before 12/31.

I was told the same thing.  Bonus received.

Always bet on black? Never bet against Dan?

Hi All,
I have been declined on the Southwest card (didn't wait for the denial letter - called in before with the reference number/appID)

Rep says I cannot be approved since I have been approved for the ink bold business and continental one pass within the past 2 days... I have tried convincing her to move credit from other cards but she won't listen.. She said its end of the deal..

Called again Recon (other #) rep was nice but asked me why do u call back when you were clearly told you can't get approved for this card. Tried barraging with him too but nothing would help...
Seems like they have it well notated..

Still anything I can do?

Thanks for your help.

Denied.  too many recent requests for credit. 

Recon said they cant approve it, and cant split the credit because i was only issued 5,000 and thats the minimum for the credit line for the SW card.

I only have one card with chase - the SW RR Plus, other three recent ones were citi AA visa and amex, and amex delta gold.

any ideas re: what i can say to try to get them to recon again?  i don't want to just call again with nothing new to say, then they get stroppy - "you just spoke to someone and they said no!"

I would really like the 50k miles!

Thanx for all your help!

I did a 3bm for sw, united, and sapphire. The united was approved after a few days but the others were denied. The reason given on the sw denial was not enough income while the sapphire was denied for too many requests. Did anyone ever have that? Does the sw require a higher income than other cards?

Last Friday I did a double browser for the Chase SW and the Hyatt. Both were within 30 seconds of each other.

My identity monitor shows it as 2 pulls one on 11/15 and one on 11/17 and my credit score dipped.

Did this ever happen to anyone?

Is double browser becoming a thing of the past?

If by you getting two pulls instead of the elusive one on a non-guaranteed method of applying means thing of the past, yes.

If not, no.
