“Backdoor” Credit Card Company and Reconsideration Phone Numbers

7 min read
Brendan Harkness By Brendan Harkness Updated Jul 27, 2020

“Backdoor” Credit Card Company and Reconsideration Phone Numbers

Want to check your application status on a credit account? Or ask for reconsideration with different terms?

It’s usually best to call the number on the back of your card when you need help. But if you can’t do that or need a different number, you can find other options here.

These numbers will help you get in touch with customer service reps as well as credit analysts and underwriters at a variety of issuers. In addition to basic customer support, they can often do things like:

  • help you find credit cards that they issue
  • find out your application status
  • tell you more about why you got denied
  • reconsider you for other credit products or terms
  • give you a higher credit limit or lower APR
  • help you use your rewards and benefits

You probably won’t get the direct line to executives at these banks, but calling these numbers might get you more help than the regular customer service line.

This list is constantly changing, and we do our best to keep it up to date. If you discover a new phone number, or would like to report one that is not working below, please email us or tweet us @CardInsider.
