Sweet!
It's funny, I upgraded my CSP to a CSR 2 weeks ago, largely (but not entirely) because I wanted the 3% Dining category. Then like 2 days later they gave my CFU a 3% dining category, so you guys can thank me later for triggering Murphy's Law for y'all 
It's kind of nice, though, that now I can use either card for dining and it makes no difference. So I don't have to whip out the CSR when I'm in a Compton taco bell.
Total Loan Balance: $43k / $65k
Total SL: $78k
Bah, Keep looking at that freedom flex but with my thin profile and low income and lack of history seems like it would be a easy denial. Also no relationship with chase. Some suggested banking with them for awhile if I really wanted it which seems like a good idea.
Maybe I should just try anyways. Worst they can say is no and it's not a triple pull like CapOne and a denial (Yes, This happened to me) Not conerned about SL even $500 would be fine since I don't borrow and PIF each month.
With that said they have sent me several freedom unlimited mailers with a solid APR so perhaps my profile isn't as bad as I think it is? Well under 5/24. 720s scores low util and a few months over a year of history here.
Maybe someday i can get to others here and get approved for whatever i want

Honestly it sounds like you're fairly likely to be approved if you applied for it, especially since you mentioned getting solid-APR CFU mailers recently. With your young credit profile and lower income I wouldn't expect much SL, but I'd bet you get approved for something if you try. IF they deny you then you can call the recon line and either talk them into approving you, or at least you'll get a clear answer on what you need to work on before applying again later.
A banking history certainly can help with Chase (it definitely helped in my case), but it would take years of banking history with them to make any difference, so there's not much point in switching banks just so you can get a freedom flex card. It would be faster and more effective to just focus on your credit profile and income. But like I said, I'd give you a solid 90% chance that they'd approve you today for a small line, maybe $500-$1500 (based on how you've described your situation, and not knowing your income)

Yeah, Perhaps I should try. High SL doesn't matter too much since I PIF in each month and i don't really care about the APR. My case is probably niche no?
Perhaps with a small SL and PIF in each month they'd give Auto CLIs seeing that i don't carry a balance...
Tho i posted another thread like to see what the deal is about the mobile wallet not working for others but perhaps it's resolved now? Seems chase was telling people the Freedom Flex isn't supported by Apple or Google pay.

Chase can be unpredictable, but I think since your profile is over a year old and you've already got established credit card accounts with good usage and payment history, under 5/24, and haven't opened up a whole bunch of recent accounts, they'd probably be happy to give you a CFF card.
They might do Auto-CLI's after you PIF for a while, but that's also unpredictable and sometimes people go years without getting one. Most people increase their CL by just applying for another chase card later, and then shifting part of the new CL over to the older card. The other option is a hard-pull CLI request, of course.
I have no idea about the mobile wallet thing, but I do remember people saying it was fixed already, just a few hours after people were reporting the issue.

I'd say go for it. You might be denied but in the larger scheme of things, how severe is a denial to you and your family? Really, not at all. You could get approved and get the card on the other hand.
