$1,000 cash on a no-fee business card. This is the workhorse bonus for anyone with any legitimate business activity, sole proprietors included. You must be under 5/24 to be approved, but the card itself doesn't add to your count since Chase business cards don't report to personal bureaus. That is why an Ink is the card to open between personal cards: it does not use up a 5/24 slot.
Eligibility
How to get the Chase Ink Business Unlimited bonus
- Apply as a business (sole proprietorship with your SSN is legitimate; answer revenue questions honestly).
- Be under 5/24 at application.
- Spend $8,000 in 4 months; $1,000 posts as cashback-points with the qualifying statement.
The fine print that matters
- Chase business cards don't report to personal credit, so approval consumes no 5/24 slot.
- DoC's no-affiliate card list notes some applicants see $200 to $250 no-spend variants; the $1,000/$8,000 in 4 months is the current elevated public offer.
