Update: Lots of positive datapoints in the comments below now. Looks like this is confirmed to be working again, yay!
For some time one of the most popular ways to bypass the Chase 5/24 rule was to apply for a card that showed as ‘selected for you’ with a green check mark. On March 20th we posted that this was sadly no longer working. There are now a few datapoints (here & here) on myFICO of people being approved despite being over 5/24 when applying for a selected for you offer with a green check mark. I’m not sure if it makes a difference, but the offers also showed fixed APRs instead of APR ranges (this is usually the sign of a true pre-approval). Please share your own data points in the comments, obviously big news if true but not a lot of datapoints just yet.
