Even though WE know (anyone who's posted a few times on this board), a lot of newer folks or lurkers may not know. If you ask Average Joe on the street if he knows the 5/24 rule, you will get a blank stare. Yet, that same individual might be sorely disappointed when he gets denied for a Chase card.
Chase is a big and influential enough issuer, and the rule is so rigid, that it might be worth a sticky.
But, I'm just an ordinary member and that's my two cents on the matter
I appreciate that and this is well said.
Amazon Chase card shouldn't fall under the 5/24 rule, as cobranded cards are excluded. Perhaps you were denied for something else?
Wanted to post in an existing thread rather than start yet another thread on the rule 
I have a card that turns 24 months old this month which takes me to 4/24. My question is do I wait until next month to be safe, or is 24 months exactly ok? Thanks in advance

From anectodal evidence elsewhere, you can apply right after the account ages 24 months
