FORCE: Degen EconomyUNIVERSE: TradingCLUSTER: Credit Card Churning

An unofficial Chase credit card policy denying most new card approvals to applicants who have opened five or more cards (from any bank) in the past 24 months, a core constraint churners plan their entire card-opening strategy around.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Held off applying for that Chase card because I'm still under 5/24, need two more months."

LORE & ORIGIN

Long-standing, widely documented rule within the credit-card churning and points community, named directly after its threshold since Chase itself never officially confirmed the exact rule.
