She asked to be considered a new applicant and they declined stating if she wanted the pts she will have to pay the AF.

I thought 6 months was enough of a wait... it was the first time we churned. Any new developments i'm not aware of? Any advice? should she wait another month and retry?

I'm holding off on my app now because of this

Thanks
Chase is a bit tighter with respect to churning cycles - 1 year is more safe of a wait. There have been some reports of people successfully churning within six months, but also a fair few of accounts being reopened like yours.
