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

The Benefits Guide is here: https://www.chasebenefits.com/inkpreferred
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 went to my local branch and met the BRM. I asked about this card. She looked at my biz profile and asked me a few questions and then told me about the offer. When I finally realized she was about to submit an application, I asked her if she had a paper application. She said no but that this was an internal system, which was different from the website. Before I could ask her to stop the process, it was too late - application went through. I knew then and there I would be denied. She called and put me on the phone with the analyst. Denied due to 5/24. The one positive about this experience was that the credit analyst didn't grill me as has happened in the past.

Gyft.com and app paying with paypal
eBay fee's paid directly to eBay (not through paypal)
Amazon AWS Fee's
Amtrak
UPS
Fedex
Does not qualify for 3x
Endicia
Channeladvisor
Anyone else have confirms? Please save many lots of time and share!

I had my BRM check the system this AM and he said "denied". I call recon. and they said: Too many opened cards recently. Did not mention 5/24 when I pressed. Dead in the water. First rejection from Chase in many years. No surprise though.

Where did you see that Endicia does not qualify. I can find no evidence of that anywhere else and you're the first person in this thread to mention the word Endicia. I'll know for sure in about a week, but I sure hope you're wrong about that. Endicia is definitely coded for 3X shipping with AMEX Business Gold Rewards.

Well that sucks. Thank you for sharing this valuable info. Where are you putting your Endicia spend? I want to put it on a business card that doesn't report to personal.

Passing reference in 2014 suggests that Endicia qualifies as shipping for American Express Business Rewards Gold. However, I see that Endicia changed ownership in 2015, and that often means a change in card processor and merchant classification. Still worth checking, Amex network merchant classifications are often different than MasterCard or VISA.

Anyone have experience getting two of the same business cards following a downgrade? I have an Ink Cash and an Ink Preferred, but at the end of the Ink Preferred year, would like to downgrade it to a second Ink Cash (for another $25,000 in office supply store spend). I know people who have multiple Freedoms, but don't know if it's the same situation here.

AM I still eligible for this card?
I got the Chase Sapphire Reserve card at the end of last year and thinking about getting the Chase ink Business PReferred.
They both offer the ultimate reward program. Are they consider the same product? If I apply for the ink business preferred, will I still eligible for the 80,000 points after 5000 spend?
Please advise, thanks.
