================================================== ==================================
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

4) Can I product change from a different INK Card?
Since this card is newly released, options may change in the future, but, at this time, Chase is not permitting product change to Ink Preferred at this time (reported on 11/23/16).

I product changed one of my Ink Plus to an Ink Preferred successfully on 3/13/17 and received the new cards yesterday 3/31/17. Can someone update the wiki for me? I don't have 90 posts yet.
Also, does anyone use AWS? Even though it's not advertising but was wondering if perhaps it would count as 3x...wish this 3x included all internet-related business solutions.

Hello (kerrigjl),
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.

Ink Business Preferred Two Person Household
Hesitant to apply for another ink business preferred account.
My wife and I both have CSP, I have a CSF. My wife signed up for and was approved for a IBP card. I was added as an authorized user. We have fulfilled and received the SB.
I'm a newbie and considering applying for a another ink preferred business card. I am at 4/24 not including the IBP. My wife is at 3/24 not including the IBP. Both of us have credit scores above 800.
My question: can one business have two different credit card accounts with chase? Maybe it's a stupid question, especially since there are only two employees and I am currently listed as an authorized user on the already open account, but I thought I'd ask.

Here is the message I received after inquiring about being matched to the 100k offer.
Hello ,
We are pleased to welcome you as a new Chase Ink Biz

Private clients accounts.
As you are not a Chase Private Client, I regret to inform
you that your account isn?t eligible for this offer. We
know this is not the answer you hoped for, and we
apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

I wonder if they are addressing the "please match my offer" inquiries that have been so successful for so many years.

This is new wording. It's also a little odd to refer to in branch applications and "adhering to the same policy... outside of the designated time frame" . Are they holding the line for in branch apps, or is the issue that your app was outside the time frame, as mentioned? Unlike others, this response makes no mention of CPC status.

I have no idea what it is specifically coding as. On chase.som it just says bonus telecom,ship,ect... I just assumed it was telecom. I can confirm 4 separate occasions I have gotten bonus points on the chase ink preferred with gift cards purchased via the ihone gyft app paying with paypal. I have purchased whole foods, starbucks, underarmor and amazon gift cards and had success. 3x bonus points for my minimum spend is good. I am only using this card for minimum spend signup bonus and the cell phone insurance long term. It is my wife's card, I have a chase ink plus which gives 5x points on office supply stores and thus I can get 5x on gift cards via gyft with that card and it will be my primary.

Very nice. I have read some concerns over gyft when dealing with high denominations of gift cards? I would be heavy on whole foods and amazon cards as well.

My guess is that things can get sticky when you go to seek reimbursement from Chase especially if there's no real "biz" documentation. They can potentially cite terms violations or whatnot. That's what I infer from that post.

I have edited the Wikipost to include a link to the Benefits Guide. The guide documents the cellular phone feature. There are some very specific requirements, but I don't see anything that would preclude an individual from using it, bearing in mind that it is secondary coverage after all other types of insurance.

Update: I read the Wiki. I agree it doesn't, by its terms, exclude people not using it in a traditional business, but it's also not clear as to whether "loss" is covered. "Accidental parting" is, but "mysterious disappearance" is not. I fail to see the difference.

It does not cover lost phones.
It's explained in the terms:
What type of protection is this?
After all insurance or indemnity has been exhausted, cellular
telephone protection will cover the damage to, theft of, or involuntary
and accidental parting with the Cellular Wireless Telephone...Involuntary and accidental parting with property means the unintended separation from an item of personal property in which the item’s location is known but recovery is impractical to complete.

What is not covered?
Cellular wireless telephones that are lost or “mysteriously disappear.”
“Mysterious disappearance” means the vanishing of an item in an unexplained manner where there is absence of evidence of a wrongful act by a person or persons.
