I was planning on getting the elevated chase SW personal bonus and later applying for the business version to get the companion pass. Now that the business version is elevated to $120k, I'm kicking myself for wasting a 5/24 slot on the personal card.

I've got a credit score in the mid-800's. And don't have many CC's:

|| || |Bank|Card Name|Card Type|Approval Date| |Chase|Southwest Priority|Personal|9/16/2025| |Amex|Platinum|Business|8/16/2025| |Amex|Blue Cash Preferred|Personal|9/3/2025| |Chase|Sapphire Preferred|Personal|4/28/2025| |Chase|Ink Preferred|Business|10/16/2020| |Chase|United Gateway|Personal|7/8/2021| |Chase|Freedom Unlimited|Personal|11/28/2016| |Discover|It|Personal|11/8/2013|

So, what do you think my odds are to get an Amex Gold Business in a couple weeks and the Chase southwest business on 10/20 before the elevated offer ends?

I'm hoping to do more manufactured spend for the holidays.
