2. If I were going to apply for Chase Marriott Reward visa in June, should I just forego the personal card and go straight for the business card to keep it off of my credit report (knowing that I'll be back to Chase Southwest in late 2019 for the sign-up bonuses)?
2. CHASE business cards count towards 5/24 but you won't get denied for cards not covered under 5/24 (Hyatt, IHG, Marriott Business, etc) based solely on being over 5/24.........If you haven't had the Marriott BUSINESS signup bonus in the past 24 months ( I would give it 25 to be safe) you can apply for the Business card today.
If you got CP via credit card signups for 2016/17 you ( if the rules don't change and you are at 3/24 or lower come 2018) can go back for those cards 24 months after the bonus posted so in early to mid 2018 you could get the SW cards again and have 104K points towards CP for 2018/19.
