I’m above 5/24 but have never had a Chase card. Opened up a Chase checking account in Feb specifically so I could get the green check mark and bypass 5/24. I have a portion of my paycheck going direct deposit into the Chase checking... does anyone have any idea/guess what Chase is looking for that would trigger the green check mark? Is it a certain amount of debit card spending or money coming into the Chase account?
I doubt anyone knows; and even if they did know they would not be allowed to discuss it.
Personally, I opened a Chase Total Checking account on 10/5/17 and subsequently set up a portion of my income to be deposited into the account. On 12/28/17 I checked Chase's Pre-qualified website and received pre-approvals for the Freedom and Slate cards. I went to a nearby branch and spoke with a personal banker, who looked up my info in his system and it also came back with "in-branch pre-approvals" for the same cards. So I applied for the Freedom card and was immediately approved. At the time I was exactly at 5/24 and it is the only time I've gotten pre-approvals through the website. In my case it took 84 days from opening the account to get a pre-approval.
My suggestion would be to go to a branch and ask the personal banker if you have any pre-approvals. "In branch pre-approvals" bypass the 5/24 restriction and appear to carry more weight than green/black check mark pre-approvals. There are several data points where green check mark pre-approvals were denied due to 5/24 but I don't ever recall hearing that a pre-approval received while physically present in a branch location was denied.

Magic, and making the appropriate sacrifice at the Temple of Chase.
Probably not going to pursue this as I don't want to poke the bear ...but my offer says:
[Green Checkmark] Selected For You
....when I click to read more, ...the APR says:
Seems they only want SS# and primary phone
Is this pretty solid for a Chase Freedom with only soft-pull?
!!thanks

17.24% is the lowest interest rate on file for that card. It's better than a high number (which can go up to 25.99%).
I not sure if it will be a soft pull if you do apply. Sure they may do a soft pull to check your report but when you apply it can trigger a hard pull.

That's a solid offer from Chase. If you apply they will usually pull TransUnion and Experian to verify that nothing has radically changed on your credit since the offer was made.
