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

I posted a few posts up but:
Applied via BRM on 4/19 for 100k CIP. Went 2 weeks on the status line. Changed today to 30 days. I've seen this infographic http://imgur.com/a/oXlPW but I haven't been on these forums long enough to see someone go 2 wks -> 30 days as it seems to usually be 30 days -> 2 weeks.
I guess I will continue to hold tight . .

How many of the 24 cards are in the last 6/3/1 months? Chase has been cracking down on people with many recent cards even aft landing approves a new card, hopefully this won't be you. They seem to close all Chase accounts in such instances, not just new ones. Some people have been able to call and get them reinstated.

For those who've applied in branch, may I ask how you found your local BRM?
I called up one branch and was told I can schedule an appointment with a "RM" as s/he travels between locations and isn't regularly available.
I called up another branch and the rep wasn't too sure what a BRM is, so put me on hold. A few minutes later, said she looked it up, and told me that BRMs only consult with $1M/year revenue businesses. She recommended I consult with a business banker instead, who was readily available daily, and that s/he would be able to help with business credit cards. And then if need be, that banker would direct me to a BRM...
Thanks!

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.

Help me to understand, please!
I am a little confused with the following:
"Chase cardmembers who currently have or have had a Chase credit card in any Rewards Program associated with this offer, may not be eligible for a second Chase credit card in the same Rewards Program."
I am thinking about applying for the Chase Ink Plus Business Preferred and I also have a Chase Sapphire Reserved. These 2 cards both offers the 1:1 point transfers to leading frequent travel programs.
What does it mean by "any rewards program"? Am I eligible or ineligible for the Ink Plus Business Preferred's 80,000 points offer? Is this CIPBP considered a second Chase credit card in the same Rewards Program?
I certainly would not want to spend $5,000 on a card which will not give me any point at the end.

I actually walked in and talked to a banker directly and then asked specifically for a BRM. He called around and we found out the BRM was about a mile away at a different location so I drove over and did the app while the original banker filled out my business account/profile.
Easy.
Easy.
Did the banker happen to ask why you specifically wanted a BRM, and that s/he could help you instead? Either the 80k or 100k CIP offers, for example
Did the banker happen to try to weed you out by mentioning the $1M requirement, etc.?

I was upfront and said I wanted to talk to the BRM about the 100k CIP offer and the normal desk banker just responded "Oh! Yeah you need her for that offer.. lets find out which branch she is at." No mention of a $1M requirement or any requirements actually.

Received email about 80K. Applied and got 30 day message. Checked online but didn't see the application showing on the pending screen so I called in to ask if it would eventually be trackable there. Rep didn't know but offered to review app. 1 hr + 15 min and a hell of a lot of questions later I was approved after agreeing to a slightly reduced limit on my Biz Ink plus.

Not sure where to put this but I used my CSR card for the Minute Suites in PHL recently. I stayed a little longer than 1 hour that was provided by the Priority Pass card. I thought I would get 3x for the additional charge to my CSR. Unfortunately, no such luck, 1x only. I'd imagine this would be the case for the Ink card as well.

So back in February I got this card for the 80k offer. When the 100k offer came out, I sent several SM's requesting a match but all were rejected. I then decided to file a complaint with the CFPB. Well, it worked. Chase deposited the extra 20k into my account.

I've called a few times for the extra 20k, but been told their offers change, so the bonus is whatever it is during time of application :/

1) I had applied in branch for the Preferred, but not with a BRM. But when I sent the secure message to Chase, the reasoning that they came back with was that the offer was only valid for in branch applications. So I qualified.
2) In the past, Chase has matched me to increased offers that were available within 90 days of my initial application.

Anybody happen to know offhand where a BRM can be found in Madison, WI (or near I-94 passing by)?
