These 3 cards are my top recommendations when applying for business cards.
First, the Ink Business Unlimited® Credit Card Credit Card is a great business card.
The bonus is 75,000 points (marketed as $750 cashback) after a $6,000 minimum spend in 3 months and $0 annual fee. This one gets 1.5% cash back so 1.5x points on every dollar spent.
As this card earns 1.5x point per dollar spent, you will end up with 84,000 points when you finish your minimum spend! I recommend this one first.
*Please open this card in a browser away from instagram if you got to this page from IG.
To make this 75,000 points worth more than the $750 cashback, you will want to also hold a Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card or Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card. These two cards have the ability to transfer the points to partners. You can combine your points onto those cards and you can open these cards later if you don’t have them yet.
Second, the Ink Business Cash® is another favorite card for the points.
The bonus is elevated to 75,000 points (marketed as $750 cashback). Earn $750 when you spend $6,000 on purchases in the first 3 months after account opening. $0 annual fee on this one making it an easy investment for some valuable points.

And third, the Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card currently has an elevated offer of 100,000 points.
Earn 100k bonus points after you spend $8,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening. That’s $1,000 cash back or $1,000 toward travel when redeemed through Chase TravelSM or when you transfer to Chase’s partners, you can squeeze so much more value out of it.
The annual is $95 which is well worth paying for all these points that first year. And qualifying for a business card is easier than you might think! Any type of side hustle that is a source of income counts. You don’t need a LLC. You can apply with your last name as a sole proprietor.
HOW TO GET BEST VALUE FROM THESE POINTS
My favorite way to use these points is by transferring them to Hyatt. We used them in Kauai this last year. We stayed at the Grand Hyatt Kauai for 30,000 points a night. The cash price was just over $1,000 a night. So this one sign up bonus saved us $3,000 for 3 nights at the hotel!

Another favorite way to use the points is transferring them to Flying Blue. That is the points loyalty program for KLM and Air France and they happen to be in alliance with Delta. Typically we can find round trip flights to Europe for 50,000 points for anyone over 12. Kids under 12 are discounted at 25%. They also have monthly promos from various US cities where the adult cost in points will be 37,000 round trip!

I have the venture x so which biz card should I get?
Any of these three are good! Probably grab the Ink Business Preferred if this will be your first Chase card.
Thanks as always for your great recos. Can you explain further how to transfer the $900 cash back to points with Chase Sapphire Preferred card?
Once you have them both open, there is an option to combine points and you will be able to move them between cards.
If my husband has the Chase Sapphire and I open the Ink Business, can I combine my points and transfer to his card?
Yes, you will just want to call the bank when you earn the points and set up the ability to combine points with your spouse for the first time.
Thank you again and again for all this info!
So I currently have the Sapphire and Ink Business Unlimited. Could I refer my husband for the Ink Cash from my Sapphire (and get the referral points)?
You can refer him from your business card if he has never had an open business card with Chase. If he has, use my links!
