This is a more complicated question than it should be. In simple terms, if you have opened more than five credit cards from
any issuer in the past 24 months you may have difficulty opening another Chase card. Details matter because Chase proprietary cards (Freedom, Sapphire, INK) have different standards than the co-branded cards (BA, UA, WN, HYT, IHG, MAR), but
this may change in May.

Last I saw, the rumor / leak was that business cards would change in March, and partner cards in April. Has there been an update that says May, or did you mistype?
