Sign-up Bonus
Chase has launched a new bonus on the Chase Ink Card that is a bit different to the normal offers we see from Chase on business cards. The sign up bonus is as follows:
- Earn $350 after you spend $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months your account is open.
- Plus, an additional $400 when you spend $6,000 on purchases in the first 6 months after account opening
Total bonus is $750 after $6,000 in spend. Not nearly as good as the recent offer of $900 after $6,000 in spend. But you do have an additional three months to meet the spend requirement.
Relationship Bonus
The other change is a 10% relationship bonus when you have both this card and Chase Business Checking account on your first card anniversary. Sign bonus points do not count towards this 10% and neither do transferred points in from other Chase UR earning cards.
Our Verdict
The 10% relationship bonus is interesting, but even if you max out the 5% office supply store category you’d only get 12,500 bonus points and that doesn’t make up the difference from the previous $900 offer. There are currently two business checking bonuses:
- Chase Business Total Checking $750 Bonus (No Direct Deposit Required)
- Chase Business Complete Checking $400 Bonus – No Direct Deposit Required (Available Online)
Chase used to offer a similar relationship bonus on the Chase Sapphire Preferred but that was removed many years ago. Hopefully that benefit stays when we see a higher sign up bonus on this card but for now we won’t be adding this new offer to the best credit card bonus page.
