In April 2020 Chase criteria for approving BUSINESS card applications have become more stringent. All Chase INK products are business cards. Chase also issues co-branded business cards for United Airlines and Southwest Airlines.

Chase business cards are subject to the 5/24 restriction. Approval of a Chase business application has not increased the N/24 count, but there are a few reports in the 4th quarter of 2022 that this may have changed, review THIS thread. There will always be some uncertainty, because 5/24 is an unpublished rule which Chase can modify without notice or explanation.

For general information about applying for Chase cards, including explanation of the unpublished 5/24 rule, please review the Wikipost of the PERSONAL card thread: HERE

Anyone can apply for a business card as a sole proprietor. If your business has a registered company name, which Chase can verify, you may use the name to apply. Otherwise, use your legal First and Last name as the business name. Do not add any extra words, do not use a made up name. If Chase cannot verify the name the application will fail.

Useful Chase telephone numbers
(888) 269-8690 - Business Credit Card Application Status Line, automated
(800) 453-9719 – Business Credit Card Reconsideration Line with live rep
(800) 453-9719 – Credit Reallocation Office (Business cards)
(888) 622-7547 – Executive Offices

Twitter: @ChaseSupport

Note: In the past, automated telephone status reports stating that Chase would notify you in 2 weeks often resulted in an approval, whereas the "7-10 days" telephone recording often indicated imminent denial. In 2016, this pattern became increasingly unpredictable, with many applicants receiving approval despite an earlier "7-10 days" automated telephone message. As a result, automated telephone responses should not be regarded as reliable indicators of an application's likely outcome.

?? Chase business credit cards [must / may] use [the same / a different] user name [as / from] personal cards. The same [applies / does not apply] to the e-mail address used. ??

Can you provide a couple of screen grabs? I’m not seeing those menu options, either in the main navigation bar at the top of the home screen or in the “More” mini-menu next to “Pay Card” for each account.

Here you go:
https://www.chase.com/digital/custom...ccount-linking

We have done this with both my own and my wife's accounts. However, I'd really not use the term "move" as you will still have a personal login active as well. I'd use the term "link" (which is what Chase uses as well). It simply allows you to manage your personal cards/accounts via your business login.

Regards

Thanks, I see it now.

Does linking mean all the UR-earning cards are displayed together, with the ability to freely “combine” points across all such cards, both personal & business?

Yes.
However, some people have an issue (or maybe it's everyone will have it) that once you get more than 5 cards on the same login, you will not be able to see any of the points accounts that are normally displayed on the main page (if that is important to you). See this thread about that...

"Somewhere" else in this thread it says that Chase stopped approving most business cards (especially sole proprietor), and then "somewhere" else in this thread you can see that they started again (all of this determined through datapoints, no Chase announcements).

Approved for CIP with a paltry 5k credit line but I need to spend 15k in three months for SUB. This credit line will make difficult to not cycle or drawl attention to myself making multiple payments per month (to keep utilization down). Any thought on staying under the radar?

If you're careful, you may only have to cycle one month. I'd do it the last month. Then, never again.

RNE, advising: You can do this!

I've also had to cycle occasionally with Chase. It's never been a problem but I definitely do not abuse it.

Any thoughts on max number of payments per cycle vs high utilization?

Given the AF, you'll have to spend at least $15,095.
To skirt both risks, try something like this.
  • Billing Cycle 1: Beginning bal=$95. Spend $3750. Statement closes; bal=$3845. (77% of CL). You've met $3750 of required spend. Pay $6250.
  • Billing Cycle 2: Beginning bal=$-2405. Spend $5250. Statement closes; bal=$2845. (57% of CL). You've met $9,000 of required spend. Pay $6250.
  • Billing Cycle 3: Beginning bal=$-3405. Spend $6000 (before 90 days!). Statement closes; bal=$2595. (52% of CL). You've met $15,000 of required spend. Pay $2595.
Hopefully my arithmetic is correct. But even if it's a little off, you get the idea.

I didn't think it would let you intentionally overpay. So many double edge swords concepts to play with. Hopefully, without provoking the ire of the beast...

You can overpay if you send the payment from your bank's online billpay site, rather than from the Chase site.

I've never personally overpaid in advance. Just charged up to around 80% of the CL and made a payment as soon as those charges posted. Then repeated as soon as the CL showed available again. I might make two payments per statement cycle that way.

Quite correct.

No, no, there's no need to thank me or even acknowledge my effort to plan this out for you step-by-step. I've got nothing better to do.

RNE, admitting I actually don't have anything better to do.

I came to this forum many years ago for guidance on this crazy adventure and I appreciate almost everyone here at flyertalk. It is only because of people like you (that freely give help) that I remain a member. To everyone here that has such motivation, thank you!!!
