Hi Travel Junkies,

New credit card launches are perhaps the best news that can come out of the points/miles world because they (usually) represent an opportunity for avid travelers to earn another signup bonus and add a new points-earning card to their credit card arsenal.

Which is why today I am excited to share that Chase has launched a new credit card, the Chase Ink Business Unlimited® Credit Card! Here are the details:

Chase Ink Business Unlimited

    Many points/miles enthusiasts will quickly recognize the Chase Ink Business Unlimited is basically the business version of the Chase Freedom Unlimited®, featuring the same 1.5x earning rate and $0 annual fee. Though the  bonus on the Ink Business Unlimited is a substantial upgrade over the bonus points being offered by Chase Freedom Unlimited®.

    Note that this offer mentions a bonus of “cash back”, however that bonus comes in the form of Chase Ultimate Rewards points. Meaning that anyone who has a Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, Chase Sapphire Reserve®, or Chase Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card can simply combine these points with their other Chase Ultimate Rewards points to be used for travel at a higher value.

    The 50,000 point bonus is worth $750+ of travel for anyone who has Sapphire Reserve

    For example, anyone holding a Chase Sapphire Reserve® could use these 50,000 bonus points to book $750 of travel via the Chase Ultimate Rewards portal. And also have the option to transfer the points to Southwest, United, Hyatt, and any of the other Chase travel partners.

    These are some of our favorite cards for earning a ton of Ultimate Rewards Points:

    At 1.5x points per $1 spent this card is an excellent choice for business owners who do a substantial amount of non-category spend, particularly if those business owners also have one of the aforementioned Chase Ultimate Rewards cards.

    Now the bad news; this card will almost certainly be subject to the Chase 5/24 rule. Meaning that anyone who has opened more than 5 credit cards in the past 24 months will not be eligible to be approved for the card.

    Bottom Line

    The Chase Ink Business Unlimited is a great grab for anyone who can qualify for it, mainly because of the unlimited 1.5x earning, $0 annual fee, and generous 50,000 point signup bonus. Remember that you don’t have to “officially” own a business to qualify for business credit cards.

    As always, feel free to email me (Bryce@10xTravel.com) with any particular questions.

     

    Happy Travels,
