Yes, you need to be under 5/24 to open any Chase cards. This includes cards from all banks, but business cards are not included. The only way to get around this is if you are pre-approved for cards, which you usually have to check in branch for.
That's not true. Quite a few Chase partner cards are exempt from 5/24. There's a large number of data points available on multiple sites confirming this. The ink business cards, southwest cards, and UR earning cards (and a couple other miscellaneous cards) are subject to 5/24. But I think the list of cards believed to be exempt from 5/24 is longer than the list of those subject to it.

Agreed. And I've been the beneficiary of this just recently. Several of the usual bloggers (OMAAT, VFTW) routinely post lists of the latest information that seems true on this.

You're right, I posted before thinking of the cards that aren't part of 5/24. Definitely something someone would have to read up and research on more in depth that just posting on a forum about.

Just as with anything else in life...not necessarily. If Chase doesn't want to issue you a card for whatever reason, 5/24 is a convenient excuse. If they do, or if you can convince them that they do, you'll get one whether you exceed it, even by a lot, or not.

I'd be interested in reading more about this. Do you have any DPs?

Edit: Just came across this thread. Interesting read.

One more benefit of this Credit Journey business is that it's a ploy for Chase to gather information on potential customers. I recently got a CSP at like 11/24 b/c I signed up for CJ and got a pre-approval for the CSP a month later. Applied in branch, no hiccups at all. YMMV obviously, but I thought it worked out great

The new web pages at creditkarma list open accounts and closed accounts, but I can't see any way to sort them by opening date (or by any other factor). This is a serious loss of functionality.
