Chase had shut down my wife’s Ink card back in March 2020 either due to the ramp up in spend or high utilization on other cards. At the time, that was the only card she had from Chase. Well last week, I got an email from them saying she was preapproved for the Freedom Unlimited, but I wound up applying for a Sapphire Preferred with the 80K bonus instead. Lo and behold, she was approved. At the time of signup, she had gotten 4 new cards in the last 24 months. Did we really need to wait over a year to try to get back in? Probably not; I just wasn’t in any rush to get back in with them. I still haven’t applied for myself yet, but I’ll have to wait to be below 5/24.
