5/24 is currently not affecting any partner cards.
In theory, if you could apply for a partner card (or if you have one already), you could try "product converting" that to CSP. Whether Chase will let you "product convert" any partner card to CSP, that is the question. (If the partner card does not have the exact same annual fee as CSP, and perhaps in other cases too, you definitely won't be able to convert until you've had the card you're trying to convert for at least one year.)

1. If you had to guess, which route do you think would be more fruitful, your suggestion above or the Ink?
OR
2. Since my 5th newest account is <1yrOld, should I sit out for awhile and ctfd?

Just to let everyone know how little these messages mean, when I first applied I got the "30 days" message. That quickly changed to the 7-10 days message 
which is supposed to be "bad". After several days of that, today it changed to "2 weeks", which is supposed to be "good". 
I'd say the only reason to call the auto line is to find out if the app has been approved yet. Trying to ascertain your odds of being approved from the message is about as useful as asking a Magic 8 Ball.

"automated lines responses stating they will notify you in 7-10 days often result in a denial"
After 3 or 4 days of saying 7-10 days on my recent SW Plus app, which only yesterday changed to "2 weeks", today the auto line tells me I have been approved.

Once again, for everyone who is concerned about getting the 7-10 message from the auto line, because the wiki says:
"automated lines responses stating they will notify you in 7-10 days often result in a denial"
After 3 or 4 days of saying 7-10 days on my recent SW Plus app, which only yesterday changed to "2 weeks", today the auto line tells me I have been approved.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I applied for the Hyatt card at the beginning of April. I was way more than 5/24 at that time. I did not get an instant approval. Every time I called the automated line, it said wait 2 weeks (never talking to a human operator). After about 30 days, I finally got it approved. So here's another evidence of 5/24 not applicable on partner cards.

I was 8/24 & was approved for CSP- but I was preapproved-they sent me invitation letter. They sent it again even after I had the card of a month. Slate & CSP preapproved letters were regularly sent in those days

That's consistent with my failed attempts to convert my now closed United Explorer card to a CSP in September or October 2016 (only option was to downgrade to the no AF United card, which I already had) and also my failed attempt to convert my no AF United card to a Freedom Unlimited last month.

Sounds like a verification call.
