More than likely since it's doubtful 'verification' may be required at this point given you previously had accounts with Chase.
Update your thread with the outcome either way. This can help others with a similar situation.
Got an update and a data point... Apparently they must have changed internal policy. My deniel reasons are as follows:
Insufficient credit information
Oldest revolving account has not been opened long enough
My Oldest card has been open for 3 years, 4 months... hrm. Called in and spoke with a very bored sounding woman with a monotone voice (Mod cut - not here, please - per forum guidelines). She told me the same thing the letter did, and said the oldest one showing that 'qualified' was my Synchrony card. Since it requires at least 5k, she couldn't give me the 5k required to open the card.
My guess: Now they only consider cards over the starting CL of the one you're applying for, so they completely ignored all my other cards and based my credit profile on my paypal card alone. Which is a $10k card opened exactly one year ago. I had mentioned my other cards and she said the synchrony card was the only one showing on the application until she looked at my report and mentioned since none of my others were 5k, they didn't qualify to apply for the CSP.
Edit: Score on denial letter was Equifax on 02-19-2020: 728
Well, that is interesting seeing how from another thread, Chase doesn't favor Synchrony Bank Co-Brand cards that much because they aren't core.
My guess is if you applied for something else, like freedom, my guess you probably get a different answer if they were looking at credit lines.
