UPDATE: The improved offers are now live. You can find links to each offer on my Best Signup Offers page.
Reader / Tweeter Mark Palmer sent me a link to this Susan Solovic post. In the post, the author says that we can expect the following Chase Ink deals to come this week (June 16 – 22):
- Extra 5K points for Ink Cash® and Ink® Classic signups (bringing the total signup bonus for these cards to 25K each)
- Extra 10K points for Ink Plus® and Ink Bold® signups (bringing the total signup bonus for these cards to 60K each)
We already knew that something was up, thanks to this Chase website advertising National Small Business Week offers:
If you weren’t planning to signup for a new Ink card now, I wouldn’t recommend doing so just for an additional 5K or 10K points, but if you were waiting for the right time, then this coming week is it. As soon as the new offers appear, I’ll update my Best Credit Card Offers page with the appropriate sign-up links.
Sure, I was hoping for even bigger offers, but truthfully, the standard Ink offers are just about the best out there at their usual rates, so this just makes the offers that much sweeter.

Tanya: that’s uncommon but it does happen to some. If you do not have papers to provide because your business is brand new or whatever, call the recon line during regular business hours: 800-453-9719. They should be able to help you.
Hardik: I have no idea, sorry
Can Foreign nationals apply for this? Not sure if they can legally run a business.
I’ve applied and was asked for documentation confirming my business name, address and tax id. Anyone else?
Just quick question, does chase business cards do financial review like amex? I just need to watch my spending habit if they do…
Jung: No, Chase isn’t known to do financial reviews, but when people go to extreme measures to take advantage of their card benefits Chase does shut them down (without a chance of review). That’s very rare though.
I think it refreshing to read advice advocating a sit back and review approach instead of the knee jerk “it’s out….sign up NOW.”
Just got matched to the higher offer! I was told that I was lucky because today is my 103rd day.
Me: I’ve only seen the 60k offer happen once before and that was just for a day or two. While it might happen again I wouldn’t bet on it. On the other hand, it’s only a 10k difference from the usual offer so I would t worry about it if I were you. Just wait until you’re ready and then snag the 50k offer.
Do these happen 1-2 times a year ? I know there is no guarantee that this will happen again, but I wanted to wait for a few more months before applying a Chase Ink as I am in the middle of buying a house. Is this the best it has ever been ?
Ah, jason is back and as misinformed as ever. Doesn’t seem you actually follow FM-but just jump in for some blogger bashing. This info was out on Saturday on the FM page. Earlier than the other bloggers.
Another shady blogger post. How about telling your readers that the link to the 60k offer had been on Chase’s website a full day before you received your precious affiliate links? So much for honesty…
Jason: That’s completely untrue. The Chase Ink offers went live sometime last night. When I learned about them, I immediately posted the direct (non-affiliate) links on my Best Credit Card Offers page, and I published a Quick Deal. Later in the day I got affiliate links so I updated my posts accordingly.
Can’t miss the offer now,every BA blogger has highlighted it. Thanks for taking down your links so that no one could use them before the better offer came out. I am a consultant and so these will come in handy for my business expenses–not to mention future travel!
Spoke to Chase Ink line this am. My wife and were both approved for add’l 10K points once we hit $5K min spend.
On top of that once the $5k spend is hit the bonus will take you to almost 66,000 points. My math tells me that’s 3 free nights at any Hyatt(non-suite) on the planet.
Seems like a fantastic value.
I’ve found that Chase’s customer service is excellent and quite generous if you’re a good patron of the bank.
I’ve updated my Best Signup Offers page with the latest Ink offers. Please check it out!
I got an “we have forwarded ur question to appropriate department”
i had signed up for the ink plus a couple weeks ago, and sent a secure message asking to see whether i can be bumped to the 60k offer about an hour after it went live.
Unfortuately I promptly received a “we are unable to match” reply. i wonder if calling or writing to Chase will work?
Webazoid is right. 60,000 UR point offer is up: https://www.chase.com/online/business-credit-cards/ink-card-sbw.htm
