Author Topic: How to collect a big amount of UR points (Chase) (Read 114647 times)

i opened a chase business checking cos i received a $300 CB offer in mail and deposit was $5k requirement.
Just told them ebay and sole propreitor.

since I got the Biz checking, is it now easier to get approved for the INK BOLD BUSINESS ?

the UR from chase freedom, SP are same and can be combined right?

I applied for the SP 2days ago, no instant approval but got approved message on status check line with 12$k CL. 2 months before that, i got the SW personal.

Yes, as long as you have the Sapphire card. If u just have the Freedom, the points will not be UR points.

Did you need a tax ID or the like?

Cuz I'm also looking to open a Buss account as a sole proprietor (ebay) and I want the Ink Bold too

Not sur of the correct name, but what I mean is that Freedom points don't have the transfer options like Sapphire points.

+1, if I'm not mistaken, Freedom points can only be transferred into UR points which in turn can be transferred into airlines.
Did I do my homework?

Pretty much, but not exactly. All Chase-branded/managed CC rewards accounts (e.g. Sapphire, Sapphire Preferred, Freedom, the various Ink (business) cards etc.) are all part of the UR program, but not all UR cards are equal. Only UR points in Sapphire Preferred or Ink Bold accounts can be transferred to miles/hotel points. Since UR points can be transferred between cards/accounts, you can just transfer to a qualifying account (yours or someone else's SP/IB) and deposit from there into whatever points/miles account you'd like.

I was starting to think no one knew what my nic meant.

Thank you for the detailed explanation.

So far for most of my UR purchases - I got an email about 1-2 weeks after the purchase confirming that I am getting a bonus, and they posted when the months points all posted

I easily opened a Business checking account.

In chase you could open an account with your SS as sole proprietor

Dunno. I tried it, figuring it probably wouldn't work, but that it was worth a try. Then I got 300 extra points on my next cc bill. Coud've been from something else, but not sure what, and my purchase was $30.

Let us know when you get your next cc bill, please? Although if it didn't work, buying a product with a gc might still work. But if it DID work...wow!

So does anyone know if you use a gift card to buy things on b&n through the ur mall if you still get the bonus points? It says officially you don't. But if you do, 10X points plus 12% off giftcards at plastic jungle would really add up

edit: actually would first buy the gift card from the ur mall at 10X then use the gift card to buy the books. i'm assuming that would be too good to be true

How long is 10X on B&N gonna last for?
Technically speaking if the GC works for 10X, how long till the points post?

not sure. I guess I don't lose out by just buying the gc and then the books and see what happens

I tried this a few weeks ago. I didn't check my statement but I don't think its gets you any bonus points.

The reason why I think it doesn't get you any bonus points is bec when paying with a gc it makes the order total "$0" and usually you don't get points on a $0 purchase.
