You should update the Chase contact - they have an automated credit application check at phone# 1-800-432-3117 then press # to check the status of the application.

Just to add a datapoint: I just applied for a card with CITI. My exp. was frozen, but they insisted on pulling that. After giving them the unlock code, they still could not pull for some reason. So I unfroze exp entirely and now my file comes up -empty- for them. So the guy said 'well we will just have to pull another service - which would you like TU or EQ?'. He was able to pull the report from the other agency then. So they still do pull other reports. Interestingly the guy did say the app now has to go to an analyst and he could not immediately approve it. Either way maybe the info is helpful. Give citi the wrong code a few times and ask them to pull another after it does not work, maybe....

HTHThank you for sharing, but this is the wrong thead, dude.While thin's post is not specifically "1-800-call to check status," I still find the information valuable...

Don't mistake my intent...I value your contributions to this thread, Eugene. But rather than being an armchair quarterback, perhaps point to a more appropriate place for thin's post.

Thank you for sharing, but this is the wrong thead, dude.

All this happened while calling the 1-800 number to check for my application two or three times. I could also add that I called the status check line one more time since, and that my card was approved and that they were happy to reallocate credit from my premier pass card, possibly because I reached my credit exposure limit with them. But if you feel all this is off topic, let me know and I will delete the info to clean up your thread.

Updated Barclaycard: 866.408.4064 to speak directly with the credit dept. Can find application status, and also do CLI with a soft pull and few questions (no need to send tax returns).
