They only say you shouldn't have the card, not how long you shouldn't have it. However, my concern would be that it's still on the record with Chase. You can even "reanimate" the closed card within a few months if you choose to do so.
Maybe it's my latest traumatic (LOL) experience with Chase talking, but I would wait for 2-3 weeks. You still have the AF waived for the 1st yr. till Dec 31.
