I just got Chase Freedom, How long do before I apply for Chase Sapphire?

My credit is 810 and 1% utilization.

I have Amex Gold, Cap One (Venture, Savor), Discover iT, Navy FCU Amex, ..

I am well aware of the chase 5/24 rule which I am within

I have been denied last year by Chase for unknown reasons but this month I got approved for their Chase Freedom CC

How long do I have to wait before I apply for Chase Sapphire?

 

 

Thank you.

3 months if you're feeling brave, I'd wait 6 months, Chase doesn't mess with CSP/CSR

Wait at least 6 months. Chase is pretty strict from what I've heard. If you don't need it fast, don't push them.

I applied for the CFF 1/29/21, CSP 9/20/21 and CFU 11/4/21 with no issues.

My credit score and utilization are similar to yours, YMMV.

I got my Chase Freedom Flex in April 2021.  Had to recon twice for approval.  Exactly 6 months later, applied for the Chase Sapphire Preferred (practically the last day of the 100k SUB offer) and was instantly approved for 12.7k.  After first statement closing and meeting the SUB, I applied for the World of Hyatt and was denied.  I've attempted 3 recons with no success.  I would recommend waiting it out
