In November, Chase released the INK Preferred card and discontinued new applications on the INK Plus card, though there’s still the similar, no-fee version of the card called INK Cash.
Until today, the INK Plus card was still available with it’s 60,000 point bonus via referral links. The referrer would also get the 10k referral bonus.
As of today, the standard referral links are dead.
However, I noticed that my email referral link is still working. (Email referral links direct to a different SPID which wasn’t yet pulled.) If you sent someone a referral link via email or if you emailed one to yourself in the past, that link should still work.
Here is the stripped down link (without any referral in it) that’s still working. You can also ask a friend for the longer version of this link to get them referral credit.
Important: The link doesn’t mention any bonus. But that’s always been the case for email links. The reason for this is because you (ostensibly) got to the landing page from an email which clearly stated the bonus offer so there’s no need to add another landing page with the offer – you just go straight to the application.
I’m fairly certain that the above link will trigger the 60k bonus (annual fee will not be waived the first year). And it should also trigger the 10k referrer bonus.
That said, it might be worth asking a friend for the longer, non-stripped version of the link to be more certain about getting the bonus.
Irrespective of the bonus, this is really the last chance to signup for an INK Plus card with it’s $50k limit on 5x office supply spend. There is a chance, though, that it will still be possible to product change to the card from INK Cash or maybe even from INK Preferred.

I applied with the stripped link and got the 60k bonus. thanx doc!
Congrats, glad to hear it!
Link is dead.
I applied with your link, got a 2 weeks message, and approval the next day. I’m at 6/24 so take that for what it’s worth. 5/24 isn’t as strict as we’re led to believe.
Still works. Just applied and got immediate approval.
Could you post the long format of your email referral link but zero out the &MSC section? I have an older link but it also includes PID= as well as a different CELL. Thanks
Chuck,
Would you recommend product changing my INK Cash to INK plus right now? Can’t sign up due to 5/24. Was going to wait until I got closer to my $25k office supply limit, but now concerned the option might disappear.
Thanks
Dude don’t even wait. The Ink+ is so much better than the Ink Cash.
Why is it so much better? If you have another UR earning premium card (i.e., Sapphire Preferred or Sapphire Reserve), can’t the points from Ink Cash be transferred over just the same? Other than the lower annual limit to get bonus spend ($25k per year vs. $50k per year for the Ink+), doesn’t the Ink Cash have essentially the same rewards earning structure?
Yeah, I’d product change right away. Hopefully, they still allow that.
I just applied with the stripped down version… Pending :/
