Thought I'd give an app a shot despite all the data points that have been posted since I had some inquiries to spare. Auto-approved for two separate chase personal cards (Southwest and United) today. 20+ new accounts in the last 24 months, but only 4 inquiries (all on EX) in the last 6months and no new chase cards in 2015 prior to these apps. Currently have Freedom and INK accounts open. Recently closed CSP and Hyatt near their anniversaries. ~6year banking history with Chase.

I'll let you all speculate on why my experience was different from some of the other posts. I'm pretty happy with the result.
