Unable to Convert Ink Plus to Ink Preferred?
 

I called Customer Service yesterday, trying to convert my Chase Ink Plus to Chase Ink Preferred, but was told I couldn't, since they are different products. Anybody having similar/counter experiences?

Mrs. lkar applied for the Ink Business Preferred online the morning that the application went live. Got 7-10 day pending message. A couple of days later the automated phone line switched to 30 days, and just recently we called and it said she was approved.

She was 4/24. This is her third chase card this year (Sapphire Preferred and Reserve). She has an ink bold with 5x that she has had for a few years for the same business.

Apparently, Chase isn't permitting PC to Ink Preferred at this point:

Does anyone know exactly how the cell phone protection benefit works?

Does the initial phone purchase have to be on this card?

Or does the card have to be used for a minimum of one bill payment for the associated device?

Or do several bill payments associated with the device need to have been charged to this card, at the time of claim?

Begin on page 48:

Cool thanks, so basically, you need to be paying your phone bills with this card at the time of claim.

Interesting... they only require that the phone line associated with the device needs to be specified on the phone bill. I guess this coverage would also apply to unbranded/unlocked grey market phones as well?

I think not. Read the entire section headed: What is not covered? and note this exclusion:

Ughhh I missed that part thanks.

How many of you guys are jumping on the Ink Pref? If not, why not?

I had the Ink Plus up until 12 months ago when I cancelled the card. If I sign up again, will I be eligible for the 80k bonus points?

Since Ink Plus is no longer available and the 80k is for a different product, Ink Preferred, you will be eligible for the bonus if approved for the card.

FWIW, denied today. 6/24.

5/24 or some other reason?

I am happy to report that eBay fees indeed coded as 3x for me. I paid direct to eBay, not through PayPal and not with the card linked to my account. When paying, I used the 1 time payment with a credit card. I am not sure if normal monthly billing would classify as the same charge.

I had just paid off the balance before receiving my Ink Preferred :(

Thanks! I just (really just like yesterday) switched my ebay fee to pay with Amex SPG. 3 Marriott points per $ is not as good as 3 UR points but not bad. I don't think the Amex SPG card will last long when SPG and Marriott finally merge.. so I will switch to Ink Business "Preferred" when SPG is gone.. I might check back with you to see if you are still getting the 3x points! :)
