Credit card company denied your request, DONOT GIVE UP.


A few weeks ago, I applied for Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Visa – 70,000 bonus points + 1 free night and got denied today.
https://applynowdc1.chase.com/FlexAppWeb/renderApp.do?CAT=0&PID=MAB1&PROMO=DF01&SPID=DN7M
the card is actually very generous offer below in terms of hotel stay and there is NO SPENDING limit as most of Chase cards do now.
I need the card to redeem a few very expensive hotel stays in Japan by the end of year as I don’t want to pay $300 one night in Tokyo and Osaka for sure.
I immediately called Chase reconsideration line and after a good talk and  3 minutes on hold, Chase will move my SW VISA credit and approve this card for me. J

I’d like to point out that once you've been denied any card
1.      Do not give up
2.      Call reconsideration line within 30 days.
3.      I don’t want to reinvent the wheel, Million Miles Secret has a great post of how http://millionmilesecrets.com/2011/08/15/credit-card-reconsideration/
