If I’m at 7/24 and I apply for the Ink Business card, will I be denied?

I found this [article](http://www.doctorofcredit.com/chase-credit-card-limits-to-soon-apply-to-business-cards/) from January suggesting that the 5/24 rule would start applying to “business” cards, like Ink, in March.

(So if that actually is the policy, yes, you will be denied).
