The reported income does not have a bearing on approval. You have to be honest, if you don't have any income for your business then don't make up a number just put 0 if that's the case.
Thanks. I put $0 on my application and was instantly approved!

Awesome to hear! I just applied for the business and personal cards myself again so planning to go another round of companion pass. Another piece of advice is to track when you get the bonus points deposited once you hit the spend threshold, that marks the start date clock for when you can apply for that card's points again which would be 24 months from now. I typically mark the date I see it in my Southwest rapid rewards account.

Does chase southwest give digital instant card to use immediately? Or do I have to wait until the card arrives?

You have to wait. I tried this and it didn't work as I had no option on a business card to add to digital wallet like I do on the personal cards.

Got the business card just this week and have a payment due date of Dec 25 and no statement close date listed yet. When should it fall under? Should I try to change the date, and if so, to what to be able to spend everything and count towards 2024?

I got my first statement for the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Plus card and there was no annual fee that posted. Not sure what that means.

Not 100% true. If you have an established Chase account, make sure you login before applying. If you get immediately approved, you should be able to set up Apple Pay. The card will show up under your Chase account and using the Chase app, you can use Apple Pay. You won't get the 3 digits that is needed for some online purchases though until you receive your card. Not sure about Android.

I applied for the personal card. It went in the review. I called and talked to the underwriter agent. She said I will need to move my credit from one of the eligible cards to this one. I agreed and they approved the card.

Now I want to apply for the business card. I already have five Chase cards. To improve my chances of approval on the business card, should I close one of the existing cards or should I reduce the credit limit on one of these cards so that there is free credit to assign to the new card?
I applied for personal and it went into review. I called the reconsideration line and it said it was under review, but an option was to talk to a representative.

When you talk to the representative, what do you typically say?

How much time should you allow to pass between applying for Personal and Business card?

Already got the Personal card a couple weeks ago. Can I go ahead and apply for Business card? Or can they be done back to back without issue?

You can. I applied for both the same day.

Chase generally posts the fee on the 30th day and the statement may be generated earlier.

Quote from Teddykgb View quoted comment :
So would it be considered too late, logistically, to apply for these cards today and still achieve the companion pass for 24/25?
Nope. The only restriction here is how long it takes you to hit the MSR. If it takes you until February, that's fine, you just won't get the pass until February/March-ish depending on when your statement falls.

When does the three months start? When your account is approved, when you activate your card, when you make your first payment -30 days?
