Our Verdict
This is a selected for you offer, rather than an in app banner offer. Because of that I suspect this will bypass the 5/24 rule but I’m not 100% certain on that. If anybody knows for sure then please share your data points in the comments below. A bonus of $300 is as good as it gets on this card, the standard bonus is $150. Reddit user Promethei2 also reports an APR range rather than a fixed APR making me think maybe it won’t bypass 5/24.
Update: offer is showing in the regular selected for you section on the website as well, so it will bypass 5/24. Not sure if that is the case if you apply through the app but I assume it is, I’d just apply via the regular site to make certain.
Hat tip to Promethei2
I stopped by a Chase CPC branch and applied for the card. They showed that I’m qualified for the $300 bonus offer.
Just got a denial for this card – I had too many accounts in the last 2 years (10 to be exact). I guess not everyone gets to bypass the 5/24 rule. Maybe I’ll try British Airways if that doesn’t have the 5/24 rule.
Just got my denial from this offer in the mail today. Too many accounts opened in the last two years.
I got this offer in online bank and was rejected when applied.
6/24, no CC from Chase
i had the same offer 2 months ago and i was 9/24 and did NOT bypass the 5/24 rule. I have 6 credit cards, a checking and saving account with Chase , over $30,000 credit limit with them and good credit , but i got denied . The reason – too many credit cards opened recently.
Thanks for the tip. I never check my offers otherwise. Instant approval for me, but I’m only 4/24.
Log in chase app, only found “refer friends”.
Sad…………..
I finally have my own green leaf !!
Refer Friends.
Baa Humbug !!
8/24
The card looks really nice appearance wise lol. But I don’t have that offer, I only have “Looking for a new card?” Whenever I try to prequalify, it doesn’t show it, it just shows no offers but when I went on Credit Karma they said me approval for it is poor. I guess, I’ll just use a 2% card for all purchases then
Thanks Vince and William Charles for replying to my freedom unlimited / Chase Army card question. William Charles what you said makes sense regarding me having to cancel my Chase Freedom unlimited first. But I know there’s several people that have more than one Chase Freedom unlimited card. I know a few people that have more than three or four. I think I’m going to cancel my Freedom Unlimited just to make sure though. I never use it anyway….
You can have multiple Freedoms, but once you have a Freedom you can’t directly apply for another one. This means if you have a Freedom you can still downgrade a CSP to another Freedom but applying directly won’t work
Just got a new Freedom Unlimited approved last week after an in-branch pre-approval. I see no personal offer in the ‘selected for you’ at all. Is there a way to request a match? Should I SM them or should I contact my banker, considering it was an in-branch app?
