Am I Crazy? 24 month rule pulled from Ink Plus and Ink Cash?

I was just perusing the offers and I can’t seem to find the clause that normally appears to exclude applicants who have received a bonus in the past 24 months on Plus or Cash. I could just be having a complete brain fart and it’s right in front of my face, but I just don’t see it. Check out the following images, it’s PLAIN to see on the Sapphire Preferred, but I can’t find them for Plus and Cash. Soooooo Am I crazy, or is the 24 month rule for bonuses pulled from Ink Plus and Ink Cash offer details? Hit me up – but this could be open season on Ink if it’s true!

Just to be clear, as it seems there is confusion; I’m not talking about 5/24. That will be enforced – I’m referencing the 24 month since last bonus restriction.

Chase Sapphire Preferred 24 month rule

Now look at the Ink Plus and Ink Cash offers….where is the 24 month rule?

The 24 month rule is typically front and center, right?

If you find it, or know something else about it…lemme know. But I’m just not seeing it. And it’s typically there, right?! I’m so shocked NOT to see it that I’m totally second guessing myself that it’s not there.

Main Cast: 

Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.

Supporting Cast:

Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on. 

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is exceptional starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.

If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex℠and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Ink Business Cash® , Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners

Annual fee is quite low at $95 a year + you get a 10% anniversary bonus on points + $50 hotel credit in Chase travel.

    Doesn’t matter of not in writing… I applied based on the new promo for the ink cash(never had it) and got denied because over 5 open (none chase) in the last 2 years. The guy on the reconsideration line confirmed this and would not budge…

      Hey Bexho – i’m not talking about the 5/24 rule tho…that will be enforced. This is about getting the bonus again within the 24 month timeframe. I don’t see where that is explicitly laid out anymore
