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

Thank you!
I did as directed above and it said "you have been approved you will receive your card in 10 to 14 days".
Which sounds good BUT i just applied for and was approved for the CSP 3 weeks ago. Is it likely that the response is from the CSP application and not the CIBP? Or is that phone number only for the business cards?
If I was approved I was going to call to see if they will 2 day mail the card to me...

You can call the number on the back of your CSP and inquire about having the Ink Preferred card being expedited.
They will transfer you to a Ink/Business rep and can confirm if your CIP has been approved or not.

Ok.
Now I have read not to call to inquire about your application. Should I just wait or do you think I should just say that the recording said I was approved and I wanted to have the card expedited?
I did talk to a CSP rep today about something else and I asked her if she could see if I was approved and she told me she wouldn't be able to see business cards on my account because that's another section of the bank

However, if you are worried about recon call and can wait it out, I'd suggest sitting tight for now.

Is there still an active Refer-a-Friend program for this card? I haven't been able to find a way to generate the link/email.

Can I get this bonus if I have the predecessor Ink card? And I'm assuming this is under the 5/24 rule like the previous Ink cards?

I was able to get 100k with $95 annual fee by submitting to a VP of relationship manager. He sent me the paperwork and I had to either fax or email and I chose to fax the paperwork to be on the safe side. Took a little longer than I would have liked(3weeks) but I was approved. His name is Jose and if you search on google, he posts on comment sections for these 80k/100k chase ink business card deals. (Not sure I can post his info but google the pointsguy)

I spoke to bankers at a 3rd branch -- a busy one in NYC this time. They said that enrolling as a Chase Private Client would give them more leeway to override my algorithmic Ink rejection-- but still no promises. Of course, moving $250K in assets to Chase is an option for very few of us.

We don't have any idea when the 80k offer is going to expire, do we? I know we kind of had a warning on the CSR, but I haven't seen anything like that for the IBP.

I signed up as a Chase Private Client (CPC) and started moving assets into the account. My new CPC banker resubmitted my CIBP application and , wow, rejected again on the same 5/24 basis! There appears to be absolutely no flexibility, even as a means of getting substantial new banking business. Either the algorithm is in complete control or there are some decision makers with severe tunnel vision. Time to let CPC know I can't deal with Chase if they're that doctrinaire and close my new account. That should put me on their lifetime excrement list.

Applied yesterday with a BRM for the 100k bonus. Called the 3117 number today and heard the 2 weeks notice, which sucks. Anyone had any luck with recon here?
My "business" is 1.5-2k/mo in travel reimbursement and also a side business reselling computer parts on ebay (maybe 3k/yr). I'm below 5/24 and never been denied for a CC in the past so this is potentially a new experience for me.
