I think the new member issue varies and 18months may not be the standard window.
I had a Chase CO card that was closed over 4 years ago ( I think back then the bonus was only 20k) and in April I applied for the 50k CO offer before it expired and was rejected for not being a 1st time member. Called CS but they confirm I had the card before. I tried to argue it was over 4 years ago but they said it didn't matter. Called over 3 times but was turned down everytime. Sad but true while others have reported to have somehow slipped under their 1st time member radar.
