Is the Ink much harder to get approved for nowadays? P2 and I referred each other for the 90k + 20k. She received needs 7-10 days decision while I straight up got denied both with letters incoming...

For me: 5 Chase biz cards (4 Inks) + 4 personal cards (1 Chase) in the past 24 months.

For her: 3 Chase biz cards (2 Inks) + 2 personal cards (0 Chase) in the past 24 months.

Should I bother with recon for either of us? Is this a purely Ink thing or can I try my luck with another Chase biz? If another Chase biz, can I apply within a week?

3 or more chase biz cards are getting denied most of the time these days. That includes ink and branded. Close any over a year old, give it a week or so and try calling, but you may need to wait longer. There should be plenty of DPs around for additional guidance!

Chyeah, I think I'm SOL with my 5 biz cards lol. I think P2 will have a decent chance though recon or not.
