[ SLANG ][ CREDIT CARD CHURNING ][ POINTS COMMUNITY ]

A phone call to a credit card issuer's reconsideration line, made to manually appeal an automatic application denial by explaining your situation to a live representative.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Got denied automatically but the recon call turned it into an approval in ten minutes."

LORE & ORIGIN

Standard churning-community terminology for a well-established process, discussed constantly since a good recon call can overturn a denial that an automated system issued based on incomplete information.
