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

Venmo 3x Rent
I was thinking of using Venmo to pay my rent/mortgage using CIBP card. Is Venmo still allowing for 3x while using CIBP?

Interested in this card and have few questions:
1) what are the answers for business questions if my business is small (personal, not official)? How to fill legal name of business, type of business (sole proprietor, other, or?) and other business questions?
2) I am 4/24 (3 with chase!) and need 12 months to be 2/24 (will be 1 with chase then). My plan is to apply for this business preferred card now, then ink cash then freedom on the same day or within a week if possible! Does this work? What's Chase rules on its business cards? If both Chase business cards won't count then I understand that I will be eligible for freedom too!

I was approved for this card and just received it in the mail. I called in to change my statement end date/ due date before I received confirmation my call dropped. So I called in again and the 2nd rep I talked to asked me to confirm the type of business I had. It seemed like she was updating my profile or something.
Is that normal for a rep to ask or is a red flag of some kind?

I just want to be clear about this card. When the Wiki states
"internet, cable and phone services"
it means the purchase of these services, such as Time Warner or AOL. It does not mean that if you buy something on the internet and use this card that you will get any bonus.
So, in my estimation, this card may or may not be worth the $95 a year depending really on how much on-line advertising you purchase.
Probably will not keep the card when renewal time comes.

Already has ink plus, can apply ink preferred?
Hi, probably it is already asked somewhere, but I cannot find it.
Is it possible to apply ink preferred if I already have ink plus ?
Also, I have CSR and sapphire as well.
Thanks

I had an Ink Plus. Downgraded to Ink Cash on year anniversary in the Spring. I was just approved for Ink Preferred using same SSN and no EIN (sole proprietorship). Applied on Wed and approved Friday without talking with them.

For anyone that has the Ink Plus, send yourself a referral link, it will automatically be for the InkPreferred. Easy way to make this a 100k point deal.

I am at 3/24, 800+ FICO. Have Ink Plus, CSP, Slate, Freedom.
Applied to Ink Preferred tonight, got decision pending message ("We need to review your request a little longer. We will let you know of our decision by U.S. mail. This could take up to 30 days"). It could be because I just changed my address (moved back to previous address).
Sole Prop, 5 years old (real estate, lessor).
Should I wait it out or call recon tomorrow? Thanks for any advice or DP.

This is normal for Chase. In my experience, it is common to get this message, and then have an approval the next business day. If you have an existing business online login for your Ink Plus, that is the easiest way to see the status of your application. The new account will show up on your business profile online as soon as it is opened. You can see the last 4 digits of the account number, and set up paperless statements immediately.
There is also an automated status line listed in the wiki to call for status on the application if you don't have an existing business online login.
(800) 432-3117 – General Application Status Line, automated
(800) 436-7927 – Alternative General Application Status Line, automated
Most people here advise to wait it out. Don't call reconsideration until you know for sure you have been rejected.
