Issuer Rules

Rules: Eligibility for the United Business Card in 2026 requires applicants to have a legitimate business (sole proprietorship, LLC, partnership, etc.) and good to excellent personal credit. The primary application restriction is the Chase 5/24 Rule, meaning you will not be approved if you have opened 5 or more personal or business credit cards from any issuer in the past 24 months. Additionally, applicants are generally limited to one Chase business card approval every 30 days. Bonus eligibility typically requires meeting a specified spending threshold within the first 3 months of account opening. This product is not available to current cardmembers of any United Business Card, or previous cardmembers of any United Business Card who received a new cardmember bonus for this card in the past 24 months. While there isn't a strict published maximum number of cards per issuer, Chase considers overall credit exposure and application velocity.

Maximum Cards Per Issuer: 10

Minimum Spend Interval: 3 months

Shutdown Risk Triggers: Manufactured spending (MS), high cumulative credit limit across Chase accounts, rapid application for multiple cards (velocity), abuse of return policies, pattern of opening cards for bonuses and closing them quickly (churning), suspicious spending patterns inconsistent with business type, not meeting minimum spend on multiple cards, or bouncing payments.
