Our Verdict
I got an email about this on both my INK Cash and INK Unlimited cards and others are getting it on other Chase business cards as well. Presumably it would show up as well on the Chase My Bonus link if you are targeted.
This can be a terrific offer on the right card with the right spend volume. It can spruce up a 5x earn at Office Supply stores to be 6x instead. Or if can spruce up a 1.5x everywhere on INK Unlimited to become 2.5x everywhere. For example, you can make a $5,000 tax payment for a 1.87% fee and get 2.5x Ultimate Rewards which are worth 3.75% if you have CSR PYB for a net profit of $94. Other people value their Chase points at even more than 1.5 cents.
3/3. Surprised.
Not an amazing offer, but may hit one anyhow.
chase is giving us basically 15K points extra for spending $15K.
Seems like too much effort for no gain.
I understand that if this is the only card you have and are stuck gardening, it’s a great deal.
But, for most, this is too much effort for very little gain.
It’s good that chase is offering something, but, do your own cost benefit analysis before going through with this.
Will this include purchases made within the offer period but before activating? Terms point to yes, but it’s not very clear
For Chase Ink Business Cash the way this 5000 point bonus posts to Ultimate rewards is a little confusing. It’s added on to the points earned for the last transaction that triggered the bonus. For example, for my last transaction I made a $500 prepayment on my cell phone service (5% back) and it shows 7500 points earned (which is 2500 for the purchase + 5000 for the bonus…but it does not specify). Previously, I had spent $2000 at Staples and $2500 on an opening bank deposit. Maybe there is another area on the Chase site to verify this but I haven’t found it. Also, after this first bonus was completed I received an email requiring me to activate again.
0/4. Bupkiss.
Got this on the SW card so the bonus is going to be paid in SW points.
Tried to activate on my new card since I need to hit the MSR anyways.. but not targeted.
0/3
0/5 here
Is there a way to check when this was activated to see how much spend I need? I got the email today about this but it says I’ve already activated the offer, I totally forget doing that ha
EDIT **ignore me** I found the original email it’s from 5/1 thru 7/31
