The Chase Ink family of cards are one of the better cards out there.  They are small business cards and give Ultimate Rewards.  Here are

  • Ink Bold – no longer available for signups
  • Ink Plus – 5x on office supply stores, cell phone and Internet – no longer available for new signups
  • Ink Preferred – $95 annual fee, 3x on travel, Internet, cell phone, and online ad purchases
  • Ink Cash – no fee, 5x on office supply stores, cell phone and Internet

Chase Ink Cash card benefits

Today we’re giving a Chase Ink Cash review.  The Chase Ink card has the same bonus categories as the Chase Ink Plus card, most notably the 5x on office supply stores, cell phone and Internet purchases.  This benefit was more useful a few months ago when gift card purchases from Paypal Digital Gifts (among others) counted as “office supplies” and earned 5x Ultimate Rewards, but there are still many

The Chase Ink Cash card also gets 2x on gas and restaurants, just like the Ink Plus card

Chase Ink Cash card review

Chase advertises the Chase Ink Cash 50,000 point signup as $500 cash.  But you actually just get 50,000 Ultimate Rewards.  And while it is true that you can redeem your Ultimate Rewards for 1 cent each, the real benefit of the Chase Ultimate Rewards program is that you can seamlessly combine those with your other Chase Ultimate Rewards earning cards, like the Freedom, Freedom Unlimited, Sapphire Preferred, Sapphire Reserve, etc.

If you also have a premium Chase card, you can then either redeem them for higher cash amounts (1.25 cents or 1.5 cents) through the Ultimate Rewards travel portal, or transfer them to airline and hotel partners like United, Southwest, Hyatt and more.  Generally you will get your best value when transferring them to travel partners

Is the Chase Ink cash card under 5/24?

The question of if the Chase Ink Cash card is under 5/24 is…. complicated 🙂 The easy way to answer it is to say that

  • NO, it will not count TOWARDS your 5/24 total
  • But YES, you do need to be under 5/24 in order to get the Chase Ink card
