Credit Card Reconsideration Phone Numbers

Credit Card Reconsideration Phone Numbers

You are here: Home / Blog / Credit Card Reconsideration Phone Numbers

Have you been denied for a credit card application? Don’t worry, even if you receive a denial letter/email from the credit card you applied for, that doesn’t mean it’s final. Every major bank has a reconsideration phone number for you to call and ask them to “reconsider” your application (or just check the status).

I have been initially rejected for card applications from time to time. When this happens, I just call the credit card reconsideration numbers. Sometimes, I haven’t been rejected but I haven’t heard any response on my application. If this has happened to you, it doesn’t mean your application has been rejected, although it could. Most likely your application is under review or has already been rejected and you have not been notified.

The Credit Card Reconsideration Phone Number

When this happens, just call the bank reconsideration number and present your case.  If you already have several credit cards with a the bank who issues the credit card you are applying for, you may just have to ask them to reallocate some of your credit from the existing cards to this new card. This will not increase the amount of credit you have available with the bank, it will just reduce the amount of credit you have open on one or two cards to make way for the new card.

My rule when making these calls is to always be friendly, courteous and confident… if the representative you are taking with is not friendly or willing to help, politely hang up and try back again later.
