How do I get around this mess? Close, use a different card and hope that the 100K offer is available in 60 days?
This all seems crazy.
I'm in the same boat and was told the same thing about having to wait 60 days. I'm not sure why Chase cares or not if the closure has hit my credit. I have multiple chase cards and have had 1-3 for the last ~5 years. Once I hit my anniversary on the current card (around 6/10), I'm waiting a week and then will cancel. At that point I'll anticipate seeing some reports of other people who have closed and then applied again.
