I don’t know if the Chase system is getting smarter or what, but my daughter has four of her own plus an Authorized User and Chase has been automatically approving her without the need for recon.
Either that or they aren’t counting her store card from Anne Taylor. I’ve heard mixed data points on whether single store cards are included in the 5/24 count, so it’s possible she’s sitting at 4/24 with the Authorized Use.
One of them is also a Capital One business card on her personal report.
In any event, the Authorized Use card will fall off in March and then one more in June and two more in July, leaving her at worse 1/24, so it’ll be time to explore some new options then.
