When Chase unveiled their new Ink Business Unlimited card last year, I predicted that they weren’t done developing Ink cards (see: Chase’s new 50K offer and their evolving Ultimate Rewards lineup). In that post, I published a nifty side by side table to show that Chase’s Ultimate Rewards business card lineup closely matches their consumer card line-up, but with one glaring omission: they don’t yet have an ultra-premium card like the Sapphire Reserve on the business side.
It’s been almost a year now, but with no sign of the ultra-premium Chase Ink Business Reserve. Will it ever happen? Maybe soon?
Here’s the chart again:
|
Card Features |
Consumer |
Business |
|---|---|---|
| No-Fee 5X Cards | Freedom: 5X in rotating categories capped at $1,500 spend per quarter | Ink Business Cash: 5X at office supply stores and on internet, cable and phone services, up to $25K spend per account year |
| No-Fee 1.5X Unlimited Cards | Freedom Unlimited: 1.5X everywhere | Ink Business Unlimited: 1.5X everywhere |
| $95 Preferred Cards with points worth 1.25 cents each towards travel and transferable to airline & hotel programs | Sapphire Preferred: 2X travel & dining | Ink Business Preferred: 3X travel and select business categories |
| $450 Reserve Cards: $450 per year with $300 per year in travel reimbursements. Points worth 1.5 cents each towards travel and transferable to airline & hotel programs. | Sapphire Reserve |
N/A Where’s this one? |

been holding off on getting Ink Cash & holding out for Reserve for a long time.
no restrictions on Ink Preferred pls.
We have the CSR and ink cash.
I will absolutely go fro the business version if it is identical. annual fee write off??? it will stay on top of my wallet fro the long haul
Been watching as well and have a 5/24 slot opening soon.
I know that Amex has several Premium Biz card offerings, so it is a little surprising that no CIR exist.
Here’s hoping….
Im excited for small business week.. 100k Chase ink preferred sign up bonus…
hopefully it won’t come with a req like no CIP bonus in last 24 or 48 months (i.e. CSP vs CSR)…
I was thinking the same thing….
