I went out on a whim knowing my chances were slim but i applied for the Marriott offer for a $250 egift card upon approval and 50K back after $3000k spend in 3 months. This offer is available on the Marriott website, i know im over 5/24 but i was approved for the Amazon Prime Visa at 5/24 so i thought i could get lucky getting another co-branded card. NO LUCK, as the reason for denial was "too many accounts in a 24 month period". I tried to Recon and explain that i was approved for the Amazon at 5/24 why couldnt they let me in with the Marriott and kept explaining the 5/24 rule basically with no budging, oh well...
I seen people get approvals for the Southwest, United, and a few Marriott cards so i thought i had a 50/50 chance. I also applied for the Amex Business Gold and thats under review.
Starting Score: 512
Sorry about your denial. Sometimes we just can't help ourselves, I've done the same thing many times in the past when maybe I should have known better, but just couldn't help myself 
. Best of luck on the AMEX Business Gold, hope you get it!
Sorry about your denial but thanks for the data point, @Mdowning30. Yes, the Amazon was a well-publized "loophole" but it was very much an exception to the rule. The 5/24 rule is alive and healthy for Chase!
