What's the difference between the Ink Bold & Ink Plus cards?
Ink Bold is a charge card (pay balance in full each month), while Ink Plus is a revolving credit card. Otherwise, the two cards are very similar; both are business cards, and both allow you to earn and redeem Chase Ultimate Rewards points (including transfering UR points to air/hotel/rail partners).
Are there special earning categories?Yes. You earn 5 points per dollar on the first $50,000 spent annually at office supply stores, and on cellular phone, landline, internet, and cable TV services. (Sirius XM Radio also qualifies.)
In addition, you earn 2 points per dollar on the first $50,000 spent annually at gas stations and for hotel accommodations when purchased directly from the hotel.
What are the best current offers?In addition, you earn 2 points per dollar on the first $50,000 spent annually at gas stations and for hotel accommodations when purchased directly from the hotel.
There are no current Ink Bold offers. There are several non-targeted Ink Plus offers for 50K, all for $5,000 spend in the first 3 months from account opening with annual fee ($95) waived for the first year:
What are the rules for transfering UR points to other users or to my own air/hotel/rail accounts?See the separate discussions in

Hi guys, I'm wondering how to show/set each account name instead of "All Accounts". As my Ink Plus and Ink Cash have the same CL and same statement date, I can't distinguish between them in online system.

Look for the nickname feature. If I recall it takes some work to find- maybe it's under customer service or something like that.

I can see that there are nickname accounts at the bottom of homepage, but I need to click on each card to open up a new page and see the balance. Is there any way to recognize each card and its balance in homepage, just like personal card online account?

Shoot, I applied for Ink Plus, got pending message screen, and I called recon and got denied. They told me that they cannot verify the nature of my business. I filled my business as sole proprietorship and ecommerce business with 1 year long and $100 revenue as it being start up. They also told me that they see I bought a lot of vanilla reload cards at CVS over several months with my Southwest Rapid Reward card (I did to meet minimum spending and to get Companion Pass) and this is not a good role model for business start up.
I am so sad now, maybe if I didn’t call it would turn out differently. Please give suggestion of what should I do now or advice in the future to get approved for Ink card?
And how long should I wait until I could apply for new business card? (until my previous record of biz app cleared from Chase database). When I got denied the first call then I quickly called the second time with different rep but the 2nd rep could know everything by the note that the 1st rep left…so I want the record to be cleared first just to be safe before I re-apply again?
thanks a lot in advance.

. When I spoke to the rep about what my business was I fed her some BS line about it being a business to help find friends and family good rates on vacations. Was then approved for a $20k limit even with $8k in MS the week before between my CSP and Freedom cards. I have excellent credit though.

The legal form of your business does not matter. Business cards are always based on the applicant's personal income and personal credit history. When you apply for a business card account you personally guarantee the entire debt, even if incurred by an employee. If you want a card based on the business's credit you need to apply for a Corporate account, and you won't find much in the way of rewards.

The Lounge Club Membership question ... I just received an Ink Bold. The pkg included the statement "to enroll, visit www.loungeprogramenroll.com/inkcard". The website doesn't appear to work. I guess I'll check it again later - any other ideas?

Are there any pros/cons to delaying the lounge enrollment until a week or two before your first flight (after acquiring the Ink)?
Example...
got the Ink today
won't fly until November
Best to enroll today, or wait until October?

They will mail you the physical Lounge Pass card, so allow enough time for that.

Can I get a business credit card if I travel for my work, will put all the expenses on this business card and then get this reimbursed by my employer.
Has one experienced/heard about this reason to get a business credit card? TIA.
