Not eligible

Not eligible 

OK PSA: Even if not eligible per that link, someone can still call 1-888-691-2301 and use your info (first/last name, RR# and zip code) to pull up a 2k/50k SW Plus offer. If you're account is open and in good standing it should result in 5k points for you. I actually closed my DW account and it has STILL been working to generate 50k offers for people, but no longer working to give me 5k bonus points anymore, so someone else should take this over. YMMV but DW was never eligible per that link and still got bonus points this way.

I don't mind taking over

I tried to sign up for a SW personal and business on the same day.

The personal was approved. The business was rejected.

I called to appeal the business card rejection, and made up a story about my business. (Sole prop, just starting up, expecting $115k revenue this year.) The agent said she would "recommend me for approval."

It's four weeks later, and I never received the card. So I called back today, and the agent said on further review, the application was denied.

So I told them I now have $6k in orders that I need to fulfill. The agent put me on hold and said I was rejected because:
1) My business is too new
2) I have 2 personal Chase cards that have been opened in the last 6 months

I HUCA'ed and got the same response from the next agent.

I don't live near a branch. Requesting a trial $500 line won't work because the card has a minimum $5k credit line.

I'm tempted to keep trying (maybe say the agent misheard, and I really have $60k in orders). Or I can just be content that G-d doesn't want me benefitting from dishonesty.

Suggested next steps?

Assuming your real goal here is to get the CP, it may be easier to get the SW Plus (50k phone in referral), I would just go for it if 30+ days from last chase apps.

Not sure if it matters at this point, but I've gotten SW personal cards at 2k. Would biz be different?

I have the premiere.

You're saying there's another personal credit card called Plus I can get for 50k points? What do you mean by "phone in referral"?

When the agent "interviews" me (seems inevitable given I've opened 2 cards in the last 6 months), why do I tell them I want a second Southwest card?

Chase offers a referral bonus to current cardholders that refer customers. Usually the referral is through an email link. I have the plus card but don't have the option to refer through a link. However, this does appear to work if you call up and mention my details (see post below). PM me if you want try this option.

Thanks!!

When the agent asks why I need a 2nd southwest card, what will I say?

You can say you want 2 southwest cards for different spending.
