Chase Freedom and Chase Ink Past Signup Bonuses
« on: September 14, 2011, 01:31:22 PM »
Have these two cards had varying signup bonus offers?  They seem somewhat low right now compared to what's available so if they're likely to go up within the next few months I'll wait it out and try later. 

I didn't realize that the points from these cards could be transferred to Continental through my Sapphire card so I never paid them any attention until recently.

There have been mailers sent out with offers of up to $300 for the freedom but that's the most I've heard of

Then I will also clarify. It says $300 cash back but actually it's 30,000 points. Also dans links are for points and not straight up cash back ($100 = 10,000 points). If he has a link for the $250 or $300 offer I'll let him post it.

I recently had an app for $300 (30k points) on the Ink Biz (non-cash) card. 20k with first purchase and 10k after $5k spend. It was posted on here too, still seems to be alive, though almost a year old..

there's currently an offer for 50k for the ink biz after 5k in spend.  it's posted in a different thread on this forum.   search.

Thanks!

That 50k link is for the Ink Bold, which I already got 80k for :), I'm going to try and get my Ink Business (not Cash or Bold) matched to this  50k offer, maybe I'll get lucky with a clueless rep like I did with the 80k match ;)

Not quite, the Sapphire Preferred offers double points on dining and travel, and no foreign transaction fees, it also offers a plethora of protections (e.g. purchase/warranty/return etc.) that I don't think the Ink Bold offers. The Ink Bold offers some sort of Priority Pass benefit not offered with the Chase Sapphire Preferred.

There are probably other (subtle?) differences between the other cards, like different bonus categories on the Cash/Freedom. There's also the 10 points per transaction on the Freedom for Chase banking customers, I don't think this is offered on any of the business cards.

Is the Chase Ink considered a business card that would be a separate pull if using 3BM with chase personal cards?
