Our Verdict
Over 3 years ago Chase increased the bonus offer on this card to 100,000 points, and it has always come with a steep $15,000 spend requirement. The new $8,000 spend link makes the bonus easier to manage. Check out these Things to Know about Chase Credit Cards before applying.
Be sure to use a link that has the $8,000 spend requirement as the $15k requirement offers are still floating around as well. Personally, I’d risk waiting a few weeks to see if the referral offer matches the public offer, and then apply using a friend’s referral link to get them a bonus as well. Or support your favorite blogger by using their affiliate link to signup for this card; we don’t use those links on our site.
Am I understanding this bonus correctly? 90k bonus points after $8k in 3 months, where 1 pt = $0.01 that’s a $900 statement credit?
Yes, but it depends are the card you choose. The Unlimited card is offering $900 for $6K in spending. Benjahmins
Applied for the 120K offer today and was just happy i didn’t get automatic rejection. This would be my 6th Ink in a year and my second Preferred. (Sole prop). 5 months ago i was rejected online and on recon for having gotten 8 Chase biz cards in 18 months. If i get approved there’s hope for anyone !
I went into a Chase Branch today to sign up for a Chase Ink Preferred with my LLC EIN and the sign-up bonus was 120k points for $8k spend. The Chase website has 100k so I wanted to share with the group on the in branch offer.
Appreciate the share, though DoC has a post from 7/4 that it was available in branch, then available online publicly 7/11.
How long should I wait before opening a second card?
Wondering the same question. I just finished my 1st CIP right before the 3month requirement. Wanted to know if I should attempt to apply for another CIP. I don’t have any other Ink cards.
CIP Link is still dead as of right now, June 13th 11am PST.
Public link seems fine. Looks like only the referral links are affected.
It’s now working again, June 13th 2pm EST
Thanks! Yes, it started working like 20 mins after my comment lol.
I’m just now trying to apply for Ink Preferred but when I use a referral I get the message: It looks like this offer is no longer available.
Anyone getting the same? Anyway to sign up with a referral?
I don’t see an issue in my referral link. The link should have /21q/ if that helps.
Thank you for checking! I do see /21q/ in the URL. I only get the error after selecting “Apply now” under the Chase Ink Business Preferred option. The other 3 cards work without the error. I have also tried 2 different referral links.
I’m not seeing any error here when trying mine either. Maybe try a different browser, no ad block, or use incognito/private mode. Rundell
Appreciate you checking too. It’s odd since I still see that error no matter what. Tried a few other links even Celia link, used different browsers, incognito, and disabled ad-block. Even tried it on a remote desktop in another state.
Try via phone web browser? Over cell IP by turning off WiFi vs WiFi? GL! Rundell
I also tried a few referral links and got the same error Rundell got for Ink Preferred (not Ink Premier). Gadget - Bank Bonus Geek 🔗
The public link of 100K works fine for INK Preferred though.
Tried that too. No luck.
Rundell I’m now seeing the same error. Wonder if they’re changing the offer to be tiered like the Cash. May have to use the public link.
I’m having the exact same issue
Same thing’s happening to all my links and all links I can find.
Anyone else having issues pulling up offer from a refer a friend link? Can get the other ink cards to show up but when trying to pull up this one site says, “lt looks like this offer is no longer available”
Just got this card. Working on hitting the sub with Amazon FBA for 100,000 points, then will likely downgrade to CIC or CIU after a year to avoid annual fee moving forward. I pay you for using my referral when you apply, DM me if interested.
Any reason to redeem points for cash back instead of pay yourself back? we are getting same conversion with all the options now (cashback / pay yourself back/travel/gcs).
Now with Foreign Transactions
3% of the amount of each transaction in U.S. dollars.
PS: The foreign transaction fee was on an email offer (I have another chase card)
Just realized I was looking at the terms for the Ink Business Cash Credit Card
DCBS Just checked my benefits for the Ink Preferred:
Benefit Overview
Pay no foreign transaction fees when you use your card on purchases made outside the United States. For example, if you spend $5,000 internationally, you would avoid $150 in foreign transaction fees.
