[Dead] How To Get 100,000 Points From The Chase Ink Preferred

Update: Seems like this is no longer working.

100,000 Point Bonus

Chase offers the Chase Ink Preferred card, the current sign up bonus is 80,000 points after $5,000 in spend within the first three months. There is a targeted offer for 100,000 points with the same minimum spend requirement but lots of people have been able to get the 100,000 point offer.

At first it was thought that you needed to manually request a match to this 100,000 point offer but there are lots of data points in this reddit thread stating otherwise. Some things to note:

• All application links state the 80,000 bonus, so you’ll likely have little recourse if you don’t get the 100,000 points.
• Best to use a referral link (this not only helps other readers, but lots/all of the positive datapoints are from people using referral links with). You can find and share your referral links here.
• Might be advisable to send a secured message after applying confirming the sign up bonus attached to your account, that way you have a “paper trail” if needed later.
• I suspect this will go away on June 3rd when the increased targeted bonus disappears (pictured below)

Our Verdict

I doubt we will ever see a higher bonus than 100,000 points on this card, obviously there is a lot of risk that you’ll only received 80,000 points but that’s still a pretty good sign up bonus. If I was under 5/24 then I’d be picking up this card now (keep in mind that this card won’t count towards your 5/24 total either as it’s a business card).
