Makes me wonder if 5/24 is even a thing if you already have chase biz cards. They did do a hard pull.

nice work. happy u got approved. but wat were ur stats going in? new accnts + HP for x/6 x/12 6/24?

6/24 doesnt seem too high but depends on dates. hence asking for stats.

9/24 biz could matter but i assume all 9 are NOT chase biz? but wat about the HP from those biz apps? gonna assume chase didnt see a good chunk of that.

surprised to see this DP. wat were the rejection reasons? 5/24? assuming ur stats were the same w/ CSR biz app? also assuming u got 2 x HP?

yes, chase biz approvals are def YMMV vs personal criteria + PUJs. 5/24 is also no longer consistently applied but its still a thing. and used esp for cobrands. but its not the same as before and new card launches tend to have way more flexibility w/ approvals. that is why detailed DPs are needed.

Previous to this card, the only way I could get approved for any Ink was to have no more than 2 open Chase business cards of any kind and also proactively lower credit limits before applying.

This time, I had 3 open cards (Marriott, CIU, CIC), one of which had a credit line well in excess of minimums, and I was instantly approved with my highest Chase business credit line ever.

Rumor is that the 200k SUB offer is going away in the morning, so this might be a good time to try an application if you're on the fence about it.

(At 3/24 right now, so not a test of that limit...)
nice. happy u got approved. wat were ur stats going in? new accnts + HP for x/6 x/12 3/24?

its not just a theory. there has been very clear DPs showing way more flexibility w/ approval criteria for the new CSR biz vs INKs.

and before the INK train went under lifetime rule, chase made approvals much stricter w/ limits. and it did matter how many other chase biz cards u had open.

Oh well, it was a fun run while it lasted. I think we'll have to move our churning activities over to Citi or Capital One.
any updates? also, wat were the rejection reasons for CIP? wat were ur stats going in? new accnts + HP for x/6 x/12 x/24? did u have other chase biz cards open?

I do have multiple other chase cards and also had 1 business cards. But it seems that chase is not doing a hard pull anymore in certain cases.
surprised to see this DP but i have seen similar reports. no PUJ? wats ur INK history? did u have any INKs open during app?

but happy u got approved. wat were ur stats going in? new accnts + HP for x/6 x/12 x/24?

No instant approval, got the 7-10 day message (I do have a fraud notice on my credit report). Credit inquiry came in instantly. Waiting game begins.

Day 1 - Called "Recon" line auto message said 7-10 days, hung up without pressing 0.
Day 2 - Received call from Chase asking for more info, some of it repeats of online app, some of it new questions. They asked for company's net income but i did not have that info on me. Was placed on hold but got disconnected.
Day 3 - Called "Recon" line auto message said 7-10 days, i pressed 0 and told an operator i got disconnected. Operator checked and only asked 1 question, which card I want to allocate from. They identified a sparingly used card and asked said they can lower that limit $15k. I was then told the application will continue to process, expect to hear back soon.

any updates?

ur fraud alerts will always prevent instant approvals and put eyes on ur accnts.

luckily, u have very low stats and sounds like chase is willing to work w/ u vs straight rejection. moving CL from another card is a good sign.

also, u already have 4 chase biz cards? which ones? its good to see no issues from that.
