We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Earning sign-up bonuses by applying for new credit cards is the quickest and easiest way to accumulate points to save money on travel or earn cash back. That’s one reason I applied for a second Ink Business Preferred Credit Card.

    When you sign-up for the Ink Business Preferred card, you’ll earn 100,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points after meeting minimum spending requirements. This is the highest sign-up bonus among any travel credit card that earns Chase Ultimate Rewards points. You can cash out that bonus for $1,000 in cash or easily book $1,250+ in travel, once things get back to normal.

    Unlike with American Express cards, it’s possible to earn a bonus on more than one of the same Chase business credit card. But admittedly, I was a bit skeptical that Chase would approve me given I already have the card. Plus, the second Ink Business Preferred is my sixth active Chase small business card.

    I actually was not instantly approved after submitting my card application. I had to call the reconsideration line and provide additional information about my business activities. After a ~10 minute call, they shifted credit from one of my other small business cards and approved me. You can check out our guide with Ink Business Preferred approval tips to see everything you should know before applying for the card or if you’re not approved right away. And if you need help applying, read our step-by-step guide to completing a Chase business card application.

    Apply for the Ink Business Preferred 100,000-point offer

    The best part is I applied for both Ink Business Preferred cards using just my social security number. I don’t have separate tax ID numbers (EINs) or corporate entities. I just apply as a sole proprietorship.

    One of the main reasons I applied for a second Ink Business Preferred was to help organize my expenses between my different business activities. For example, I resell items for profit on eBay, do some real estate consulting and also work as a freelance writer. So having separate business cards for different business activities helps me track expenses.

    Right now the Chase Ink Business Preferred card offers the best welcome offer of any Chase credit card. You can earn 100,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points after spending $15,000 on purchases within the first three months of account opening. With the Ink Business Preferred, you can redeem Chase Ultimate Rewards points for cash back at one cent per point or get even more value by redeeming them for travel (including airfare, hotels and car rentals) through the Chase Ultimate Rewards travel portal or transfer points to hotel and airline partners. At a minimum, the sign-up bonus is worth $1,250 in travel through the Chase travel portal.

    The Ink Business Preferred has a $95 annual fee which isn’t waived for the first year. However, given that the welcome bonus alone is worth at least $1,000, this makes it a rewards credit card that is well worth it for virtually everyone who qualifies for business credit cards.

    If you don’t have multiple businesses and aren’t eligible for more than one Ink Business Preferred, you could still apply for a different version of the Ink card for the same business. Both the Ink Business Cash Credit Card and the Ink Business Unlimited Credit Card have no annual fee and are solid business credit cards that earn cash back. Currently, both cards comes with a $750 bonus cash back after you spend $7,500 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
