These are the only two applications he has made since January & he has no accounts with Chase. He called the recon line & was told that his business is too new & they're looking for people who will be charging more than $3k on the card every month.

Was he truly rejected because he wouldn't be spending enough money on the card? Or does he just need to build a history with Chase & then go for the Signature cards?
