Best cards Under 5/24

If you have been approved for less than five cards in the last 24 month period, these cards are the best ones. Think of 5/24 as going to a buffet, but you can only get certain foods for your first five dishes. You wouldn’t necessarily skip over those foods for other foods you can get at any other time. These cards are listed in the recommended order that you get them.

Best Cards Over 5/24

Once you’re 5/24 or above, your chance of being approved for a Chase personal card is basically nil. The best strategy is to look outside of the Chase ecosystem for other cards that will work in your wallet. Unlike the cards above, these aren’t necessarily listed in any particular order.
