Approval Rules
No 2nd Biz
Quick Summary
You might not be allowed to get a second card for a separate business (EIN)Understanding the No 2nd Biz rule:
For Chase (and most other banks) as long as you have two businesses with different EINs, you can get a second/third version of the same exact card for each business. This is awesome for the Chase Ink cards. Unfortunately, Amex and Citi don't allow for a second business card for the same individual.
