Hi Im Abby
Your ‘always finding the best deal’ friend!
This guide will teach you all about loyalty points and how to score epic vacations for next to nothing.
If you’ve been around for any amount of time, you know that business cards are one of the #1 easiest and most lucrative ways you can rack up hugeeee amount of points for travel —
…all without impacting your personal credit long term!
The two no annual fee Chase Ink Business cards are GOLD for earning affordable travel!
➡️ Very generous welcome bonuses ($750-$900 in bonus cash back if elevated!)
➡️ Marketed as “cash back” cards but if you have a transferrable points Chase card, like the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, you can turn that “cash back” into transferrable points for travel! (FAR more valuable)
➡️ Other added card perks! :
Purchase protection
Primary car rental coverage
Extended warranty protection
➡️ 5/24 status with Chase is safe, both cards do NOT count against your 5/24
➡️ Require you to have a business to apply for these cards…HOWEVER, you are likely eligible for business cards and don’t even realize it!
So many people are sitting on a GOLDMINE of travel earning opportunity via biz cards — it is much easier to be eligible than you think!
The Cash card has more layered earning categories, which has the potential for big multipliers on your purchases- if it makes sense for you and your family’s spending.
5% cash back at office supply stores
5% cash back on internet, cable and phone services (on the first $25,000 spent in combined purchases each account anniversary year)
2% cash back at gas stations and restaurants (on the first $25,000 spent in combined purchases each account anniversary year)
1% cash back on all other purchases
Again, although both the Cash and Unlimited are marketed as “cash back” cards, if you move that “cash back” over to your Chase Sapphire Preferred, they can become (VERY) valuable, transferrable, points for travel!
Bottom Line
These cards are the crown jewel of earning affordable travel for the LOWEST out of pocket cost. One of these cards is always my recommend step #2 (after the #1 Chase Sapphire!) when you are first starting in your reward travel journey
