FAQ
Oh No! I Just Applied for the 50,000 Bonus Offer. Can I Receive the 60,000 Offer Instead?
Although there are no guarantees, many successfully have been matched to the higher offer by sending Chase a secure message, if they recently (within the past 60 days) applied for an Ink Bold or Ink Plus card. See Send Chase a Secure Message
Do I Qualify for a Small Business Credit Card?
You may qualify for a small business card, even if your only business is selling things on Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Craigslist, etc. Do you ever rent out your apartment or other real estate using Craigslist, Airbnb, etc.? Do you do any consulting work? All of these and most any other small business makes you eligible to apply for an Ink small business credit card. Also see Ink Business Card Sign Up Tips. Just note that Chase has gotten pickier with applicants over the recent year or so, so if your business isn't very old or has very small revenues, you may have a hard time getting approved.
I Didn't Get Instantly Approved–Do I Have to Wait for an Answer in the Mail?
No–you can (and should) call Chase Reconsideration for business cards. See Call These Reconsideration Phone Numbers. Be prepared to discuss what your business is, how much money it makes (revenues and profits), how long you've had it, and why you want this particular card. Always tell the truth, don't worry if your business is small or in the planning stages.
I've Previously Had the Ink Bold; Can I Get a Bonus for the Ink Plus?
Yes. The Ink Plus is a different product, so even if you've previously had an Ink Bold, or even an Ink Plus MasterCard (but not an Ink Plus Visa) you could be approved. Note that if you currently have an Ink Plus Visa or received a bonus for an Ink Plus Visa within the last 24 months you are NOT eligible for the 60K bonus.
What Are the Best Uses of Ultimate Rewards Points After the United Award Chart Devaluation?
The United Award Chart Devaluation has had the effect of devaluing Chase Ultimate Rewards points as well. Previously United was the top Ultimate Rewards transfer partner, with the goal of redeeming for international premium class awards such as Asiana First Class, last-minute Lufthansa First Class, SWISS Business Class and the occasional Singapore Business Class award.
With the United devaluation, international partner awards to Europe and Asia have increased by 63%-86%. Because of this, I would say that for Asia, especially if you need 2 first class award tickets, one of the best transfer partners is Korean Air Skypass. See Book Korean Skypass Awards Online. Another great partner is Singapore KrisFlyer, but note that it's become harder to book Singapore Suites awards to and from the U.S. at the saver level.
For regions more or less untouched by the United award chart devaluation, such as South America, domestic U.S. and Hawaii (see Best Frequent Flyer Miles for Hawaii Awards), it can still make sense to transfer to United, although also look at booking domestic tickets with Singapore KrisFlyer or Lufthansa Miles & More.
