Chase - in-branch 5/24 exception to get Freedom?

[HeavenOhio]

If you have the in-branch preapproval or the green check mark, it's probably worh risking the pull(s). Visit your branch, though. The offer might be better than what you see online.

That said, if I were in your shoes, I'd probably wait until I was under 5/24.

Agreed.  No hurry.

Nothing currently, but my Chase banking relationship is still a seedling.  We'll see if anything happens as the direct deposits from my new job starts to flow (and Chase can 'see' money leave to pay other bank cards).

FWIW, I opened a Chase Total Checking account primarily for the $200 bonus on 10/5/17 and got green check mark approvals for Freedom, Freedom Unlimited, and Slate around Christmas; then opened a Freedom via in-branch application on 12/28.

Chase seriously doesn't care unless you're a private client.

Chase really doesn't care about banking relationship unless you have a ton of money in there (CPC), and even that no longer circumvents 5/24.

I would definitely wait on a green checkmark or preapproval or else just wait until you pass the 5/24 test.
