What's considered a department store? Do they still have any of those? I guess Macy's may count now that I think of it. I saw it in the mall when I took the grands shoe shopping for school. Haven't been in one in years.

And for this quarter it was also a bust for me.

My Cash+ counts Macy’s and Kohl’s but not sure what Chase will consider for that category

Chase currently has a 20% bonus transfer for Flying Blue through September 30.

Way behind on this thread, just got back from 2 weeks in Africa and many websites were not available in the countries I was in, when I checked once or twice. Decided to try for CSR Biz, was approved with a $10,000 CL after the phone call from the fraud dept to make sure it was really me applying. Used a support link from DH's CIP. I have 3 open Chase personal cards and 2 biz cards, one that I use semi-regularly. Will try to refer him to a new CIU soon, would like to get the points to his CSR to hopefully beat the late October deadline.

I have $12,000 CL on my CIC and $9000 on my CIP, so I will move quite a bit over so I don't have to make too many separate payments to hit the CSR Biz MSR.

When you called the fraud dept what did they ask? We got a letter from Chase after DH applied for CSR Biz suspecting fraud and said to call in. Did they just verify identity or did they discuss the app? DH won't mind the ID questions but won't want to have to talk about the application. I usually am the one that does that so hopefully they would let me talk to them after he verifies ID and gives authorization for me to talk on his behalf.

They called me, just asked if I had applied for the card, then approved it.

A previous CIU application in January, they asked a couple of ID questions, nothing about the business application that I recall. They did prolong that one and eventually deny it, but since then I was approved for a CIP in March with a similar experience - just a quick call from Chase to verify that I had actually applied.

Updating a previous post - I had made an interim payment on Sept 8 to my new CSR Biz but the available CL had not reflected it. Today, a week later, the available CL did go up. I think the closing date will be around Sept 20 and I am not planning to charge any more before then.
