The previous thread is here: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chas...20-2022-a.html
In April 2020 Chase criteria for approving BUSINESS card applications became more stringent. All Chase INK products are business cards. Chase also issues co-branded business cards for United Airlines (2 different biz cards), Southwest Airlines (2 different biz cards), Hyatt and IHG.
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 There will always be some uncertainty, because 5/24 is an unpublished rule which Chase can modify without notice or explanation.
For general information about applying for Chase cards, including explanation of the unpublished 5/24 rule, please review the Wikipost of the PERSONAL card thread: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chas...ds-2023-a.html
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.

Note: The automated Status Line often shows no record of business card applications. This does NOT mean that there is a problem with your application. You will need to contact Chase to learn the status, or wait for Chase to contact you.
You can use a single Username on chase.com to manage both Business and Personal card accounts, but you will initially need to set them up separately, and then telephonically ask customer service to combine them by merging the Personal account into the Business account. It cannot be done the other way. Once personal account is merged to business account, if all business cards are closed while keeping one (or more) personal cards open, online access to all cards will terminate and a new personal (online) account will need to be created using a different username than previous personal account.
Update: It is possible now to link Business and Personal accounts online. First set them up separately, then log into the Business account and follow this click path: Icon at the top right that looks like a person -> Profile & Settings -> Account Settings -> Manage Linked Accounts. Then look for the "Link relationship" option for the personal accounts. For more information on linking accounts: How to link Chase personal and business accounts?

Hi all,
I'm not sure if the rules differ between business cards versus personal cards, but does anyone know if it is possible to do product changes between ink cards? I currently have a CIC and would like to PC it to a CIP and then reapply for the CIC SUB. Is this doable?
Thanks!

The second sentence makes it sound like you cannot get another of a card you already hold. Is this what you were implying? If so, it is not accurate. You can hold a CIC for example and get another CIC.

Sounded like they were saying they wanted to product change either way and wanted to make sure they could reopen another CIC. I wasn't saying it to the exclusion of getting 2 CIC, I was just agreeing with their facts

Currently I Chase Ink CIC - (NOV 22') - CL=$10k, $6K balance....slowly paying off in $2k increments/mo since 0%, 12 month offer.
Also have a Chase INK CIU - (Jan 23" n- CL=$10k , $6.5K balance slowly paying off in $2k increments/mo since 0%, 12 month offer.
SO my tentative plan is apply for 2nd CIC- Mar 1.....41 days after my last card CIU(Jan 23').
Conerns I have is the impact leaving a balance of 2 INK cards $12.5K total....and applying for CIC on Ma1.
I have 3 big payments coming up in Feb-April and wanted to get new SUB offers.
Several have been able to apply for multiple CIC solemn even in 24 hr period.....my issue is remaining balance owed when I apply and if I should drop the CL limits since my goal is new CIC and eventually a CIU Maybe Jul or Sept 23'

In addition to Mia's response just be prepared with answering why you need a second, since you may be asked, especially in such a short time span. If its for a separate business thats a different story, thats easy to explain. Opening 3 cards within 3 months will probably require a manual review to approve it no matter what, unless you have tons of income on this business going to chase account

Reddit and UR have posts of 2 CIC's same day claiming even one hard pull. Many have claimed to have done consecutive CIC in 30+ wait with auto approval.
I was trying to get clarification and your personal experience for a DP if you knew it was required.
As for the 3 cards in 3 months....again other sites are recommending 30+ day interval not a restriction on 3 in 3 months for a manual review as a few have gone several cards beyond 3 waiting the 30+ day interval. all with approval they claim
If there has been a "recon" it had been to confirm business address info. versus verification of income/spend limits.

First, I did read 63-66 before I posted. Another web site(10X, UR ) recommend sequence from CIC-->CIU-->CIP then repeat CIC.

Long game vs short game are two very different things. I try my hardest to be cautious with a bank I want to maintain a relationship with. P1+P2 we currently have 19 Chase cards. We almost always get instant approval. Just because trying hard to avoid any red flags is important to me, doesn't mean my approach is correct.
