I applied for this card back in 2016 after Credit Karma said my approval odds were very good. I was approved for 1k my scores was around 620 or so. I used it generously and vigorously lol. 2017 they gave me a 1k increase. Now in January 2018 they gave me a 2k increase. I use this card a lot because of their cash back on ALL purchases and their ZERO $ annual fee is the icing on top!
I applied for this card with the intentions to utilize the 0% balance transfer for 15 months option. However, what they do not tell you in the card descriptions; "you may be approved for card without having the balance transfer option". I was approved for $6400 without a balance transfer option; when I spoke with customer service they said that balance transfers are a promotional option, which I didn’t qualify for based on my credit worthiness. This doesn’t make much sense... giving the amount of credit line I was approved for and having a 680-700 credit score. Just be aware if you are applying for this card because you would like to use the balance transfer option, there's a great possibility you will not be allowed that option, even if approved.
On the other hand, American express (no affiliation) approved me for a credit line, and the option for balance transfer is standard with approval (not promotional).

Quick Approval and Easy Balance Transfer
I have had this card for almost two years. The application process was easy, I was approved quickly and received my card without issue. Balance transfer was easy too. My only issue is that there is no notification when the 0% APR on purchases and balance transfers time period ends. Without warning, my monthly minimum payment skyrocketed from $137/mo to $399/mo, which is totally unmanageable for me. Eventually I will get it paid off and then I won't touch it again.
Excellent
I've had this card for 21 months now and have had zero issues. Random internet fraud occurs here and there and Chase always handles it for me. I made a $2300+ purchase, pre ordering an item. The company took a lot of these pre orders then filed bankruptcy. Chase gave all my money back 6 months or so after the purchase was made. Chase has increased my limit automatically without my request several times. When they do this, I don't get a hard inquiry on my report. Love it. My current limit is $21,900 and less than 2 years ago it started at $8 or $10 thousand. Highly recommend all Chase cards/services. I have 3 Chase visas and credit scores above 800.
I got this card back in Oct 2018 , I love the cash back and other perks . Best card . No issues at all , All the people complaining are doing something wrong .
Agreed. Use it for all non bonus category spend. Pay in full every month. Transfer points to a sapphire card. Rinse and repeat. It couldn’t be simpler. I’ve used this and the Freedom card in tandem with a Sapphire Preferred card for years this way. Zero problems. Pro tip: call Chase and arrange for them all to close on the same day. Statements close...go down the list and pay them all off. Bam bam bam! That’s it. If you can’t do that, stay away from rewards cards and focus on low apr.
So far so good
Applied 12/30 received a phone call 1/10 and had to verify some information so they could ensure it was me whom applied. Was approved on the phone for a starting CL of 2K. CK scores were TU 662 EQ 652, My Exp 653 Fico 701.
Approval odds on CK were “Fair” but I was instantly approved the same day for the AMEX cash everyday card for 2K so I tried anyways!
Horrible
I just received my card one month after applying and immediately cancelled it. The whole application process has been a complete nightmare. Not only did they send my card to the wrong address but when I inquired about my application two weeks after applying because I didn’t get a response from them, I quickly learned their customer service is horrible. They don’t actually ask or care what your concerns are, instead they quickly read off a script and transfer you a bunch of times. I asked on the phone if I would be guaranteed to be able to transfer both of my card balances to this new card and the rep said yes. I thought all this hassle would be worth it. Wrong. I received my card and called customer service to help with BT. Then they tell me they can only transfer $1,600 since my credit limit is $1,700 (mind you, my credit score is high 600s). I told her what I was told previously and that I’m extremely, EXTREMELY disappointed in this whole ordeal. She said I can apply for a higher credit limit but it’d be a hard inquiry. Of course I said NO because you guys JUST did one and I don’t want another hard inquiry. She obviously didn’t care and proceeded to try and sell me other products. I told her three times I’m cancelling this card. I hate Chase. Don’t waste your time.
You cant do that ..It showed chase your too much of a risk . Thats not chases fault ..Your giving a bad review for your own financial problems , You shouldn't be carrying a balance anyway ..Pay off your card every month and you wont have these problems
Fast Approval!
I was hesitant to apply for a new card after rebuilding my credit for the last 8 months or so. Credit Karma said I had excellent approval odds with 700 TU credit score, so after doing my research I decided to go for it. Instantly approved with $3600 limit, 0 interest for 15 months, and looking forward to my first cash back rewards card! The application process was easy and fast!
Applied with a "fair" rating
So I was a bit hesitant to apply for this card due to the "fair" rating, but I was so happy to see that "you're approved" screen! I was approved for a $2000 limit and the 15 months of 0% interest is just fabulous. This is my 2ND cash back card, along with the Quicksliver card. I just got the card today and I'm looking forward to building a good relationship with JPMorgan.
Easy no hassle use
This card is pretty good to help build credit. Especially, with the 15 month 0% interest. Just keep it paid and use the points at your leisure. Has helped me alot. Customer service isnt too bad either.

-Gman
Yeah, don’t hate on GMan, I thought that the whole point of consumerism was to derive pleasure from a make believe system of value. He’s just driving our economy the way it was meant to be driven.
Applied and Approved Under Fair CK Score
Although CK stated my approval odds for the Unlimited card was "FAIR", I went ahead and applied anyway using CK's easy pre-filled application system! With a CK score of 680, I was approved with a CL of 1K within seconds!! This is an awesome start for me. I'm happy Chase took a chance to give me a chance ! I am super excited and ready to be a part of JPMorgan's team!
Definitely worth looking into...thx CK!
I used CK’s advice on cards that had good approval odds for me based on my credit score that ranged from 666 to 701. This was the best match since my main goal was to transfer a credit card balance at 0%. The application process was easy as pie and I was approved in seconds with an almost $6k approval amount, which was well over the balance that I needed to transfer. This is the most that I’ve ever been approved for. Thanks for the referral CK!
FYI everyone: Balance transfers may be 0% APR on your purchases, but you're paying 3% of the transfer to do it. For example: You transfer $5000. Three percent of that is $150. It's like you made a $150 purchase. Be aware, that's all.
