Not until I can find a substantial signup bonus. At this stage it appears Chase is backloading the bonuses and offering the points as spend threshold bonuses. I want both

Chase Ink Card Question
I've looked at the Ink from Chase and was wondering.... Is this a Visa or MasterCard or Neither?
If it's not a Visa or MasterCard, could someone explain what it is and how it works (from a branding standpoint and where it can be used). For example, can it be used places that take Amex or only a place that accepts Visa, MasterCard, or both?

Yea, mia, Ink Bold offers in addition to the typical 1% you find for most cash back cards, Ink Bold offers tiered bonuses when you hit certain spend levels:
7,500 bonus points when you spend $25,000
15,000 more bonus points when you spend another $25,000
25,000 more bonus points when you spend another $50,000
7,500 bonus points when you spend $25,000
15,000 more bonus points when you spend another $25,000
25,000 more bonus points when you spend another $50,000

Crap card do not apply for it!!!
This card is a waste of time. I must have not understood the intiial conditions. You get crap shae point, NOT MILES. So 10,000 CHASE CRAP points gets you $100. THen if you spend $5000 in 93 days you get 15,000 mroe CHASE CRAP points thus an additional $150.
IT DOES NOT TRANSFER INTO MIELS ON ANY AIRLINE!
I called to reject once I figured this out. My bad.

You also get extra points for Home Improvement Gas, Eating out and even Groceries, I picked up $450 the other day and they gave me a $12.00 Starbucks card, so not a bad deal. Lowes is my store, have rentals.

3% on Gift Cards w/ Chase rewards +
I have a Chase Ink Cash. I just discovered that I can buy Home Depot, Lowes gift cards through the Chase Rewards Plus mall and get 3points per $. I am in the construction business so I can really add up the points. I burn through the 3% cash back monthly 1500 limit in the first week of each month. There are also other partners that let you buy Gift Cards.

When posting in this thread please mention the full name of the card that you use or ask about: Ink, Ink Bold, Ink Plus, Ink Cash.
For example, 3% cash back at gas stations, restaurants, and office supply, hardware and home improvement stores is a standard feature of Ink Cash, and I cannot determine if the previous posters are reporting that the two extra points per dollar also applies to one of the other three cards.

It appears Chase has more than one reward card, Bold, INK, they did change many of us have had these cards for a long time.
I have several properties, and Lowe's exculpates the points with the 3%,
One good thing is you can use the money for the cheapest air far available, not like some other cards.
CC are to be used not abused, always looking for the best deal..that is what we are here for, to be informed.
What is so great about BOLD, just asking, and always looking...
