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

Just a data point. Not much different from others' experience, but I found this thread really helpful so just trying to tack on some additional information for what it's worth.
2 Chase business cards and 6 personal cards. 3/24. One of the business cards is a business preferred in the name of an actual sole proprietorship business with an EIN. Card was issued in the name of the business using the EIN for the application. (I think this was before the requirements changed for using only actual person name for name of business for chase business apps for sole proprietorship.) Bonus received on prior preferred card in February 2017. Applied this week for a second preferred card. Used SSN and actual name. Reduced credit limits on a personal card and a business card. Got pending message and telephone status line gave 30 day message. Approved today automatically -- so 3 days. No verification or call required. We actually have a good story to tell about why we need a second card for a second business but didn't need to give it.

When are points converted from your spending? My annual fee is due soon (I think next billing) and I just paid off a 4k credit card bill. I'd like to cancel before the annual fee is due but was wondering if I cancel it now, does that mean I give up points from that 4k spending?

There is no need to close your card prior to the annual fee posting - you have 30 days after the annual fee posts to cancel the card without paying the annual fee (or you'll get it refunded if you do pay it and then cancel within those 30 days.) https://www.doctorofcredit.com/annua...h-card-issuer/
Let the billing cycle end, your UR points will post, and you can either redeem them, transfer them to another UR earning card, or transfer them to a Chase travel partner. Then close the card.

Does Chase count 24 months to the day?
I received my first Ink Business Preferred bonus on July 17, 2017. Am I already eligible again on July 21, 2019? I would have preferred to wait until August but as the big final payment of my tour bill is due on Aug 12, 2019 which I'm hoping to pay off with the Ink Preferred, waiting for Aug 1 to apply is cutting it close as recently Chase approvals take a few days to one week for me.
Cards approved within the past 24 months:
BofA Alaska Airlines Personal Jan 2018 (now closed)
Chase Sapphire Preferred Feb 2018 (currently open with CL $16,800)
Amex Delta Gold Personal Dec 2018 (currently open)
Chase United Explorer Mileageplus Business Mar 2019 with CL $5,000
So I'm at 3/24 or at most 4/24 if you count my Chase business card.
Some additional questions:
Is a 4 month gap from my last Chase business card too soon to apply for another Chase business card?
Considering my most recent Chase card only got approved for $5K CL, is Chase likely to approve me for another $5K CL card?
Would you recommend me lowering the CSP's CL to better my chances of approval for Ink Preferred?

Does USPS shipping or even stamps count as 3x?

Mrs. lkar received a bonus on a first CIP in July 2017 and she is currently under 5/24 and we want to try for a second bonus. The annual fee is due on the first card soon.
If we close that card now before applying next month for a second CIP will that affect our chances? In other words is it better to keep that account open and pay the fee or is it better to close it now and then apply in a month? Or does it not really matter?

To address your original query, however, I don't think it really matters when you cancel the first CIP. The only downside (that I can see) to cancelling it prior to your CIP 2 app would be if you had to recon for some reason and the CSR asked why you were applying for a CIP when you just closed a CIP. (Easily enough explained, though.)

I would just apply for the second CIP now (unless you are waiting until next month for a reason you haven't stated) and then close CIP 1 after approval of CIP 2. (I def wouldn't pay the annual fee on CIP 1 if I didn't plan to keep it.)
