New Chase Freedom Rise - Starter Card

New starter card from Chase.
Freedom Rise

Anyone know if it's actually easier to get approved with this card over their other cards?

Gets 1.5 which is not bad for a starter card.

Also, they seem to confirm that "Having a Chase checking account with a balance of at least $250 will increase your chances of getting approved". Not sure if that was just an assumption till now...? Or if anyone knew that as a fact...

It looks like they got rid of the freedom student card and replaced it with this one instead.

Regarding the checking account balance...Pretty sure it didn't say that anywhere before.
