The INK Plus card from Chase is available online with a 60,000 point signup bonus; the annual fee is not waived the first year. For a while now, the in-branch offer has been 70,000 points with the annual fee waived for the first year. Requires $5,000 in spend.
That offer was set to expire on August 20, but it’s now been extended according to this Reddit report. You can still get this superior offer (70k + fee waived) in a Chase branch. We don’t know an end-date; let us know if you see that information at Chase.
Most likely, you’ll be able to get the INK Cash card with a $300 bonus in a Chase branch as well (the public offer is $200), as these usually go together.
Pretty cool if you go into a Chase branch and get a pre-approval on the INK card and the Sapphire Reserve card; walk out 170,000 points richer. We can dream. 🙂  (Pre-approvals sometimes help circumvent the 5/24 rule.)
Note that personal and business Chase credit cards don’t always result in combined pulls. Here are 23 things to know about Chase credit card.
There’s also a $500 business checking bonus currently available, and some people had success getting pre-approved on INK while there to open a business checking.
Get a Match
More important, perhaps, than the in-branch offer is that historically it’s been possible to get Chase to match the in-branch offer by sending them a secure message. You might need a screenshot of the 70k offer, however, which we don’t yet have.
Note that getting the match will typically only net the extra 10,000 points, but won’t get the $95 annual fee waived the first year.
