================================================== ==================================
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.

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

So surprise when I get my first statement with the fee present. I went back to the branch and it took this man a full day but the fee was rescinded.^
Therefore, I suspect that if you are a customer that Chase wants to maintain, you probably can get the first year fee waived.

I am not certain what the difference between a fee waiver or a
"courtesy credit" if both are taken off the credit card statement.
Furthermore, I am not certain that the ultimate outcome is any different. So if this makes things any better, I will restate
If you have a significant presence at Chase, it is likely that you will get a "courtesy credit" for your first years card fee if you apply at a branch (and of course ask for it )

How long did it actually take you? Doesn't seem worth the time.

Someone remind me...my wife applied for the preferred (she's at 0/24) and she originally got the 7-10 day notification on the automatic line but then she got the "we need to verify your name and SSN" identify verification mail the other day. Is this a simple cursory verification followed by a decision or is this part of her recon and they'll ask her more pointed questions?

Does the fact that it was gyft make it telecomm or did the addition of paypal as the intermediary drive telecomm classification?
Just did a test run to see how it posts. Still pending...

approved in spite of (5/24)
My husband just got approved in spite of (5/24). He has a small legit business with about $2,000 profit. He called when he got the -- let you know in 30 day notification. He pointed out that he only opened 2 cards in the last 2 years, and the other 3 cards were secondary user to my cards. They said they would let him know within 2 weeks--after a supervisor looks it over. Just got an e-mail acceptance confirmation 4 days later. Card is coming in the mail soon (or so they say). YEA... It has been a loooooooooooong 15 month dry spell just doing lowly cash rewards.

For those whose older Ink expired after Ink Preferred came out - did your new card come in as an Ink Preferred?

A fee waiver removes the fee. A credit gives you an amount equal to the fee, but you still pay the fee.
Net the same amount of money, but a difference with meaning.

Thank you for your recent message regarding the bonus
offer for your account.
The offer to earn 100,000 points is only applicable to
accounts that were opened at the branch. We ask that you
trust that this decision is the same for all members whose
accounts do not fall within this category. We feel that
adhering to the same policy for all members outside of
this designated time frame is the best way to remain fair
and consistent.
(kerrigjl), I see that the offer for your account is to earn
80,000 bonus points after you spend $5,000 on purchases in
the first 3 months after account opening. You have until
July 13, 2017 to earn the bonus points.
Note: Purchases do not include balance transfers, cash
advances, cash-like charges such as travelers checks,
foreign currency, and money orders, any checks that access
your account, interest, unauthorized or fraudulent
charges, or fees of any kind, including an annual fee, if
applicable.
We appreciate your business and thank you for choosing
Chase.
