It's not quite as good of an offer as the late 2009 promo ($2k spend rather than $2.5k spend; $75 annual fee vs. $95 annual fee), but it gives those who missed the previous promo another chance to participate.

Now We Know
On the bright side, I have a feeling we're gonna get some more blockbuster offers this summer. That feeling is based on nothing, other than the fact that 100K seems to be the new bar, for a big rollout (CapitalOne Venture, Chase British Airways). And it probably takes at least 50K or 75K, to get attention (Amex Plat, Citi AA).

I take offers after a decline, as a sign that they are ready to do more biz with you, although the different cards have different requirements and screens.
If I were you, I would wait until it has been 60 days (or 62 days to be safe) from your February application for the CO card, then apply for this Chase BA card.
And whatever the reason they gave you for decline in February, see if you can mitigate it in the meantime. For instance, if too high balances, pay them off. If too many inquiries, wait until at least one ages off (obviously you only have until the offer ends to apply, scheduled to end May 6th, but Chase could end it early, or extend it).

i applied for chase southwest card about 60 days ago. from what i remember when i asked this question last year is that chase is ok with applications once every 30 days if you are accepted, if you are declined you need to wait 60-90...does this sound right?

I am interested in this, however, I wondered if any of you know when the clock starts on the 3-month "spend" window? Accepted application date or when you receive/activate the card? I'm wondering because we have a trip planned for July 2nd-July 10th and we could make at least half of our spend through those charges. Those dates, of course, are three months away and some charges take a couple days to clear. I might delay applying for a week depending the rules.
So, wait until April 14th to apply, to make sure you get all your trip spend counted.
Or, use amazon payments, or no-fee amex gift cards, or coins, to accelerate your spend. Just do a search on any of those topics if interested in advancing your spending.

One application every 30 days, if accepted.
Wait 60 days if declined (or 90 days to be safe).
Please report back your results if you get a chance, so we have more current data.
