Not even close to -150 in my experience, hah.

And Chase's 5/24 rule only includes personal cards; many people on HN may consult or otherwise have a business, and business cards don't count. Even sole proprietors (which is you, if you have a SSN) can get business cards.

I gave a ceiling number, as someone asking likely wouldn't have an optimized card portfolio for bonuses.

Worst case, they're pulling their second card, where it could easily have a 150 pt impact.

Last I heard, the Chase rule is a lot more nuanced than that with business cards. And if you're at 5/24, you'll be turned down for a new Chase business card as well.
