Update 9/8/22: Some people have had their applications approved that were previously denied. Hat tip to reader BAS
Recently there has been an issue where Chase has been denying credit card applications due to the applicant applying from an IP address located in a country or territory subject to U.S. economic sanctions. The issue is that the applicants have been applying from states such as Texas, Oregon, Arizona & California. All of the datapoints so far are for business cards, but it’s not clear if it’s affecting personal cards as well.
