Card Highlights
Chase Ink Business Preferred is a Credit Card
With a credit card, you can carry a balance and accrue interest if necessary. Note this is not advised by me. The points game does not work well, if you are carrying a balance and accruing interest. See #4 in Let’s Get Started To Earning Free Travel.
Card Rewards
Earn Ultimate Rewards with the card. Learn about the Chase Ultimate Rewards Program here.
Sign-up Bonus
Before you apply, make sure your ability to get the sign-up bonus is not limited by Chase restrictions on an additional sign-up bonus or the Chase 5/24 rule. Also be mindful of the unwritten 30 day application rule.
