Got bored, applied for Edward Jones Business Card

I hadn't applied for anything in around 7 months, and I'm trying to get under 5/24 for the summer. I decided to go for the Edward Jones business card (issued by Elan). OK bonus ($150/$1000), but wasn't sure if I would get approved with already having the max cash preferred ($25k limit) and platinum business ($20k) through a local CU. Decided to just take the leap, instant approval, $2k limit, don't care about the rate as I don't plan to carry a balance. I have a small account with EJ (~$6k), and I assume you have to have one as they ask you for your account number. Relevant info:

 

AAoA - 47 mo
Oldest (personal) - 9 yr, 4 mo
Oldest (business) - 4 yr, 3 mo

Business - Sole prop

TU pulled (0/6, 4/12, 7/24)

Newest account - 7 mo (0/6, 4/12, 5/24)

Business income reported - $10k

Personal income reported - $135k

Re: Got bored, applied for Edward Jones Business Card

Just as an additional note here, I thought the amount they gave me was low, so as soon as I could setup my online account, I requested an increase. This caused another pull on my TU. Elan hasn't done this before on my other business card or my MCP card. So be warned

Did they grant your CLI request or leave you at $2K ?

Negative, I was declined. I think I hit max exposure w/ Elan currently. $25k on my MCP, $20k on my business platinum w/ my local CU, and $2k on this card.
