The credit score needed for Chase Slate approval was at least 700. Unfortunately, Slate is not accepting new applications at the moment. Chase Slate required good credit, at a minimum. And though some people say the good credit range starts at 660, only a score of 700+ gave you reasonable Chase Slate approval odds. Barely meeting a card’s minimum requirements simply doesn’t translate to a high likelihood of success. Rather, the higher your score was, the better your chances were.… read full answer

But even having the 700+ credit score needed for Chase Slate approval might not be enough. You have to meet a few other requirements, too.

Here are the eligibility requirements & credit score needed for Chase Slate:

• Basic eligibility. You’ll need a U.S. mailing address and a Social Security number (SSN). Chase does not take an ITIN in place of an SSN. And you’ll need to be at least 18 years old.
• Ability to pay. How much money you earn is a big factor in approval. Chase needs to see you can afford to pay for any purchases you make. Any debt you have will be weighed against that income, so you should try to owe as little as possible.
• No bankruptcy. If you’re currently going through bankruptcy, there’s no chance you’ll be approved. And if you’ve completed bankruptcy but it’s still on your credit report, you still might be denied.
• 700+ credit score. While it’s possible to be approved with lower scores, we don’t recommend risking it. So make sure to check your latest credit score for free before applying.
• 5/24 rule. Chase doesn’t officially say they do this, but many people have reported Chase will deny you if you have already opened five other credit cards (from any issuer) in the past 24 months.

If your score is not 700+ yet, consider taking a few months to improve your credit. And keep the other requirements in mind as well; you’ll need to pass all of them to be approved.

If you’re not sure whether you meet the Chase Slate credit score requirement, you can check your latest score for free on WalletHub, the only site where credit scores and reports update daily.

There are a handful of universal Chase credit card requirements: 1) an SSN; 2) a U.S. mailing address; 3) enough money for monthly bill payments; 4) good or excellent credit; 5) fewer than five credit cards opened in the last two years (widely rumored but not confirmed); and 6) no bankruptcy on your credit report (widely rumored but not confirmed).… read full answer

Most of those requirements are pretty standard, although some credit card companies offer cards to people with lower scores. But merely meeting those baseline criteria doesn’t guarantee approval. Each individual Chase credit card has requirements on top of that, which are tailored to identifying the right type of cardholder for that particular offer. For instance, you need at least $10 million in assets to qualify for the J.P. Morgan Reserve Card.

But let’s focus on what you can control: your credit standing and ability to pay. You can easily check how you’re doing in both categories and take steps to improve before applying for a Chase credit card, if necessary. Below, you can find info on the most popular Chase cards’ credit requirements and minimum spending limits. This should help you estimate your approval odds. Seeing which Chase credit cards you’re pre-approved for isn’t a bad idea either.

Now you know some of the tests you’ll need to pass to get a card from Chase. But this just scratches the surface of what Chase looks at for approval. They’ll also examine your debts, credit utilization, and a whole host of other factors.

If you have limited or damaged credit, your chances of getting a Chase card are almost none. Instead, I’d recommend Capital One QuicksilverOne for limited credit rewards, Capital One Journey if you’re a college student, and Discover it Secured if you have bad credit.
