Ritz-Carlton
$450 (Chase denied 2025 rumors of a $695 increase). Chase doesn't list the fee publicly, so confirm it on your statement.
Closed to direct applications since 2018. Obtainable only by product change from a Chase Marriott Bonvoy personal card (Bold, Boundless or Bountiful), typically after holding it 12 months and with roughly a $10,000+ credit line. If you already have it, its credits still count, and the Premium IC app still tracks them.
Credits 3
Every statement credit on this card, how often it comes back and when it resets. Together they’re worth up to $330 a year in cash credits, not counting ones you unlock by spending, points or free nights.

Before you apply
Chase’s application rules, as reported by people who applied. Banks don’t publish most of these. All banks’ rules
Chase usually declines you if you’ve opened 5 or more personal cards from any bank in the last 24 months. This applies to almost every Chase card, personal and business. How 5/24 works
Usually no more than 2 new personal Chase cards in 30 days. A third application within 30 days is usually declined, and you still take the hard pull.
Usually just one new Chase business card in 30 days. A second business application within 30 days is usually declined.
