THIS THREAD IS NOW ARCHIVED.
PLEASE CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION HERE: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chase-ultimate-rewards/2031752-chase-ink-business-preferred-2021-onward.html
================================================== ==================================
Additionally: For those who may be automatically excluded due to 5/24, the in-branch Business Rep can submit the application by Mail on your behalf (this avoids the application going through the computer check that would automatically exclude those who are already at 5/24.) First year's annual fee is not waived.
: Some members may have a referral link and would be very grateful if you would use it. See this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/credi...ost-first.html
1) Should I apply using the link above or go to a nearby brick and mortar branch?
Sometimes there are better offers to be had in the branch (as referenced above). Some in-branch apps had/have the $95 AF waived 1st yr (ymmv). You can also have your banker check to see if you are pre-approved for this card (green screen on the banker's log in). However, it is likely simpler/easier to do a Chase business credit application Online as applying in-branch often requires providing documentation (proof of business, etc).
2) How do the rewards differ from other INK cards?
The bonus categories on this card are different than other cards in the INK family, notably, this card does NOT get a bonus at Office Supply stores, but DOES get the following:
3 Points per $1 on the first $150,000 spent in combined purchases in the following categories each account anniversary year:
- Travel; including airfare, hotels, rental cars, train tickets, and taxis

This is normal for Chase. In my experience, it is common to get this message, and then have an approval the next business day. If you have an existing business online login for your Ink Plus, that is the easiest way to see the status of your application. The new account will show up on your business profile online as soon as it is opened. You can see the last 4 digits of the account number, and set up paperless statements immediately.
There is also an automated status line listed in the wiki to call for status on the application if you don't have an existing business online login.
(800) 432-3117 – General Application Status Line, automated
(800) 436-7927 – Alternative General Application Status Line, automated
Most people here advise to wait it out. Don't call reconsideration until you know for sure you have been rejected.

I am at 3/24, 800+ FICO. Have Ink Plus, CSP, Slate, Freedom.
Applied to Ink Preferred tonight, got decision pending message ("We need to review your request a little longer. We will let you know of our decision by U.S. mail. This could take up to 30 days"). It could be because I just changed my address (moved back to previous address).
Sole Prop, 5 years old (real estate, lessor).
Should I wait it out or call recon tomorrow? Thanks for any advice or DP.

TL;DR --> Approved!
TL version: Got a call this morning from "Unknown" number, glad I picked up. The person identified himself as calling from Chase Fraud dept and wanted to verify if I really applied for a credit card. Once he asked some identity verification questions and was satisfied with my answers, he said that now the app is cleared by fraud dept and that it will be submitted now; he processed it while I was on the line and got it approved. Also helped me expedite the card shipping in 1-2 business days. The new card did show up right away in my Chase online account.
Thanks Tylt33!^ I did this using the twitter link I generated from my Ink Plus, I'll report back later if this worked for the 20k bonus.

Has anyone tried to refer themselves for the Ink Preferred? Tried to search the thread but couldn't find anything.
I currently have an Ink Bold. When I put the info into the refer a friend site, it comes up with a referral for the Ink Preferred. I'd like to apply for it, and if I could refer myself and get the 20k bonus that would be amazing! (Especially since I missed out on the 100k, and am now finally again under 5/24.)
If it's confirmed to not work, though, I would give that referral to a friend instead. Anyone have any datapoints?
Edit: lol. I searched the thread, but I didn't read the post right above this one. I guess it'll work.

Another data point: 4/24 (2 of them are store only cards). Have CSR and CFU (was a CSP that I PC'ed into CFU after I got the CSR). 770+ FICO. Applied evening of Wed at 9pm online. Got the 30 day pending message on line. Called next day morning to status number and was told approved.
Called chase again to get card expedited shipping. Card arrived on a monday afternoon. Very fast shipping and service.
Had to call chase to setup the online account management. Cannot manage biz/personal cards under one roof, but from reddit you can transfer UR pts from biz card into personal card if you so wish

You can have your Chase business and personal card accounts on the same login page. At least, I do.

Combining points from your own accounts is easy. Makes no difference personal/business, multiple profiles. Combining with other people's accounts is subject to specific requirements:

How do you do that? Does the referral link come from your account home page? I am not seeing it.

Has anyone used the phone protection on their CIP? I cracked my screen wondering what's the process like.

I have not tried it, but it won't do you much good on a cracked screen. The deductible is $100 which is about the same as the cost of replacing the screen on most phones. I was looking it up the other day because one of my iPhone 6 screen was cracked. But it is only $109 at replace the screen at Apple Store and cheaper at other cell phone repair stores.

My application for the Chase Ink Preferred card is pending and has been for more than a week. My CPC banker told me today that the majority of Chase's business cards staff are located in Houston, and their offices have been evacuated. It's difficult to say what impact the Hurricane will have on application processing, but it's almost sure to result in delays. So if you've applied for a Chase business card recently and haven't heard anything yet, this may be why!
