Why the 2 year wait for chase sapphire?

Why is Chase saying you have to wait 2 years before you can be approved or be able to apply for the Sapphire card? I realize for the part of too many applications biut that seems somewhat ridiculous. Any thoughts?

I don't think it's that ridiculous. Seriously, how many cards does one need? There are other cards besides the Chase Sapphire if you really want one but you have 10 chase cards. Sometimes you gotta know when to throw in the towel. If you need the card in two years, it will be there. I don't think it's going anywhere.

Where does it say OP has 10 chase cards? Is something not showing on my screen or was that in another post.

It may seem ridiculous my dearest little Booboo but that's the current Chase policy.  We could go in circles again debating and start another hateful thread on possible theories but the bottom line, Chase is not wanting to approve any of their mainline flagship cards (Slate, CSP, Freedom) if the above conditions exist.  As far as reasons, some have said potential risks (i.e. exposure), churning/abuse, and the list goes on.

 

So, I realize you are probably exited to add an 11th card with them, but you're just going to have to wait it out Smiley Wink  Now, the more you apply for new beauties, the farther it becomes a reality.

They're cutting off people who churn their cards for bonuses. It's a case of the few ruining it for the many. 

 

Nothing else to do but follow their rules if you want them in your wallet. I can't apply for the CSP until March of 2017.

If OP has ten chase cards already I have to say I'm kinda suprised they didn't already pick up the CSP and secondly if chase would consider giving OP the CSP after two years I think that is pretty good for an 11th chase card.
