CHASE-how soon?

[flyingmd]

I recently received my Continental Pres Plus MC and am getting multiple invites to apply for both the CO business version and United plus explorer business with a 35K sign on bonus. I know there have been multiple threads about chases one card every 6 mos or more recently one card every 30 days. Does this apply to business cards from them? If so, what is the minimum time I should wait. Don't want these offers to expire.

Hi flyingmd, I'm gonna quote a guy who writes a pretty popular travel blog (http://travelsort.com/blog/understand-how-your-credit-score-works-to-maximize-credit-card-rewards):

Chase, for example, had a six month rule in the past, where you could only get a new Chase card every six months. This isn’t really the case anymore, though they’re still among the more restrictive for approving multiple cards in a short period of time. One of the things they’ll often offer to do, if you have an existing card, is to cancel it in lieu of a new one (and you still get the sign-up bonus), or shift over some of your credit line to a new card.

It doesnt say anything about business credit cards, but it does say it's pretty tough to get a 2nd Chase card (probably included business + personal?) within a short time. I know I just kinda throw this quote out there, I hope it's of some help.

Thanks. There's been multiple threads on this board about chase and how frequently one can get a new account but none really address whether this policy includes business cards.

I was wondering the same thing. I'd like to get a southwest business card, I got the personal one with the 50k signup bonus back in July. There was a guy on flyer talk that said he spaced out the applications by a week. He got approved for both. So I take that to mean that there is a different approach to business apps from the one card every 30 days rule. I'll see if I can find the exact thread.

Have you searched Flyertalk or Milepoint? Those are generally better areas to search for this kind of thing.

Found the thread, the southwest card is the main subject.  Read post #'s 154, 220, 229.  Looks like it can even be done on the same day.  If I had know that back in July I would have filled out the biz app then.  Hope this helps.
