After I got the original bold, I was mailed an offer for a preapproved classic. It was only 25k points but with no spend. It wasn't earth shattering, and it's a Chase inquiry, but preapproved 25k points for no spend is hard to pass up. Not when I'm not planning to get another Chase card for several months.

Sad thing is, if I wanted to, I could do $10k in three months. Even sadder, I might actually want to. I love me some UR points.

I'm going to wait until my Ink Bold gets a little closer to the annual fee so I can keep Ultimate Rewards points for free, foreverrrrrr :)

Hey DHAST, no worries. When your annual fee comes up for the Bold, apply for the Plus. It they don't approve you, tell them you want to cancel your Bold and move the credit line over to the Plus. Having the Classic doesn't mean you can't get the Plus too. You can have 2 Chase Biz cards at the same time. Even if you may not be able to have 3, cancel the Bold and you're all good. 50K bonus points for the new Plus! Just tell them your Biz works better with a credit than a charge card if they ask for a reason.

You can have at least three INKs since I just got my third, an INK Plus, using a U.S. Mail offer I got a few weeks ago for no minimum spend, fee waived for first year, 50K bonus.

Was initially turned down due to too many Chase apps in past half year (probably five or so, with all granted eventually). A chat with nice person at biz reconsideration line resolved things (1-800-453-9719).

Thank you, Chase. You are being very good to me! :D

I opened my second Ink Bold in April, just before they pulled the 50K $5K spend promo - first one I opended under the old program in 2011 (so I have two Bold accts). I wanted to move some of the credit over from the first Ink Bold acct to open the second, but they wouldn't let me. They explained that since it's a charge card, it has a "soft" limit and the credit from this account cannot be used to open another account. I had to move credit from my personal UAL acct to open the new Ink Bold acct.

I had applied for the Club card at the same time and was told the same thing by a different rep at the recon. line. They would not allow me to move credit from my Ink Bold acct to open the new one, even if I closed the original Ink acct.

My point is, while there hasn't been an issue moving credit from Chase credit card accounts around to open new Chase accounts, I've had an issue trying to move Ink Bold credit to open new Chase accounts.

Anyone else have this issue?

I may have to apply for this one in a few months. The Bold is a great card and the spend over 6m is not too bad.

which 3 ink cards and application dates on the 3 ink card please?
all instant approval or had to call reconsideration

thank you

I got that offer for my current INK BOLD a few months back. Sweeeet. I'll wait for another "no spend" snail mail offer from Chase for this new one. :)

To answer the query above from emptyness-

I got basically the same offer (no spend, fee waived, 50K bonus) via the US Mail for both an Ink Bold (applied in late May '12) and Plus (applied a couple of days ago, that is, in late July 2012, a little less than two months between the two apps). Both these apps were addressed to a business name used a couple of years ago for an AA biz card app, so, since the name variant used in that app was slightly different than used anywhere else, I assume Chase somehow used Citi's list.

Previously, I applied for an Ink World in Nov. 2011 and in Mid-March 2012. IIRC these two apps were made back when the 50K offer was open to all with fee waived but with a minimum spend of $5K to get the 50K bonus Ult Reward Pts.

Again, IIRC, I had to call the reconsideration line for all four of the apps to get them approved (I have other, non biz Chase cards, UAL etc.)

Called Chase on the latest app almost right after app was made and rep wanted to know why so many apps over six month period. Ans.: 'cause Chase keeps sending me great offers! And, because the Plus is a credit card, not just a charge card, has option to not pay in full for a month if there are cash flow issues. Approved during the call for $20K credit limit.

Come on Citi, use those old mailing lists to make some offers that come close to Chase's!

PS Guess this means I have four Inks right now.

if I apply for ink Plus and don't get approved, I should tell the rep that I wanted credit card version of the ink card? I have the ink bold since April 2012. Thanks

For those that had already took advantage of too many Chase cc bonuses. I would say stay low. Someone reported that he called Chase for reconsideration to close and open two of his cards, and result in accounts closure:

I got the same one ...and got it after i called it in...great deal as no min. spend required.....after 1st purchase....got my 50,000 UR pts already. 'CHASE'n da miles! One card at at time! :D

Not in my humble opinion. I would apply for Bold and push for acceptance when you call the reconsideration line. The folks there appear oriented towards approval if you can provide reasonable answers to their questions which are likely to include how long has your biz been around, how much are gross revenues in each of last three or so years? How much do you anticipate revenues to be in this year and what do you think profits will be?

Remember, they have your online app in front of them so you might want to review it before calling.

Chase appears to be eager to hand out biz cards (not to mention personal cards).

Apply for Bold, then wait at least 30 days and apply for Plus. Everyone needs an INK charge and a credit card! @:-)

Besides, if you wait a bit you might get a no minimum spend 50K bonus in the mail. ^

The only offer i received recently , (2 days ago) was for chase united mileage explorer card for up to 65k miles, the thing is that I already have that card and got the bonus in april.

Which card to apply for first?
 

Is there a rationale for a certain order of applying for the Ink Plus or Ink Bold, assuming I would like to ultimately get 2 or more cards? I have no business cards as of yet, and have 3 Chase personal cards (UA 65K, Marriott 70K, BA 100K). Had to allocate 1,000 of credit line from MR to BA to get last approval (BA required minimum of 5,000). Any recommendations for a certain application order to get 3 Chase Biz cards?
