Both my wife and I took advantage of the Sapphire card deal from earlier this year. Wonder if they'll approve us for this card as well...
If you've got less than 5 new card accounts opened (with any card issuer, business cards usually don't count though) in the past 24 months, then you've got a good chance.
Yet, curiously, it seems that getting the Ink Plus card does not contribute to the 5/24 limit. In other words, even though Chase knows the fact that you opened a business card account with them, they still don't count that account toward your limit of 5. (It makes sense that many other business cards don't count toward the 5 limit because they aren't reported to the credit reporting agencies, but Chase internally knows about Ink Plus accounts, so one might imagine they'd integrate that data and count your Ink Plus toward the 5 limit. But apparently that hasn't been happening for people (at least not yet).)
So its 5x categories suck compared to ink plus which is 5x UR, not just 5 cents on the dollar...It also sucks because it only does wireless phone at 5c/$1- Ink Plus is 5x UR for not just wireless phone but also landline, internet, and cable TV services
Granted there's a $95 annual fee, but if you do any significant spending in those 5x categories you're getting a TON more value in rewards than the Amex card you cite
why are UR points better? I am planning on this card and also got the CSR, but was planning on redeeming for cash regardless.

Becuase UR points can be redeemed for travel via transfer partners which can net you value of 1.5-2 cents a point on a low end, and 5-10 cents a point on the highest end.
So that means a purchase that is 5% cash back with that amex only rewards you with 5 cents in return per $1 spent.
while a purchase that is 5x UR with chase rewards you with between 7.5-10 cents in return per $1 spend on the low end up to as much as 25--50 cents in return per $1 spent on the highest end.

I just went into branch today to look for preapproval. I am not near 5/24 but I did not get automatic approval like I did on my Sapphire Reserve. I am waiting 7 to 10 days for my "result". Benefit of applying in branch is to get the first year annual fee waived. It is waived when applying in branch but not online.

I apply for too many other cards to ever qualify for a chase card again (that damn 5/24 rule)
Pro
No need to own a business as with other Chase Business Cards. $95 Annual fee (I don't think it's waived the first year)

Any chance it can be bypassed with in-branch preapproval like we could with the CSR?
