Chase is offering its best welcome bonuses in months on its two no-annual-fee Ink Business credit cards. New applicants can currently earn $900 in bonus cash back after meeting minimum spending requirements.
Both the Ink Business Unlimited® Credit Card (see rates and fees) and the Ink Business Cash® Credit Card (see rates and fees) are strong small-business options, with flat-rate or bonus-category earning structures that can add up quickly.
If you’ve been waiting for a juicy offer to apply, now’s the time. These are the highest bonuses we’ve seen on these cards since last year.
Keep in mind that these are business credit cards. You don’t need a large company with employees to qualify — even freelancers, sole proprietors and those with side gigs may be eligible. However, you will need a legitimate business to apply.
Turn cash back into Chase points
While the Ink Business Unlimited and Ink Business Cash technically earn cash back, you can convert that cash back into Chase Ultimate Rewards points if you also hold a premium card such as a Sapphire card or the Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card.
Doing so can dramatically boost value, since points can be redeemed for travel at elevated rates or transferred to airline and hotel partners.
(Note that while the Chase Ink Business Premier® Credit Card is also a cash back card, its cash back cannot be converted into points.)
The information for the Ink Business Preferred and Ink Business Premier has been collected independently by The Points Guy. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

This is the highest bonus offered on this card, last seen in November 2024, making now the best time to apply.
Annual fee: $0
Earning rate: 1.5% cash back on all purchases
Who should apply: The Ink Business Unlimited is a great option for small businesses and sole proprietors who don’t have spending concentrated in specific spending categories. No matter the category, you’ll get a flat 1.5% across purchases.
While it’s not the best flat-rate option for business owners, it does come in handy if you have Chase Ultimate Rewards points-earning credit cards to turn that 1.5% cash back into 1.5 points per dollar (a 3.1% return, based on TPG’s September 2025 valuations).

Ink Business Cash Credit Card
Welcome bonus: Earn $900 bonus cash back after spending $6,000 on purchases in the first three months after account opening.
This is the highest bonus we see on this card and is the first time it’s been offered since January 2024, making now an ideal time to apply.
Annual fee: $0
Earning rates:
- 5% cash back at office supply stores and 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
Who should apply: The Ink Business Cash is great for anyone who spends a lot at office supply stores and on internet, cable and phone services. These are common expenses for many small businesses, so most business owners should be able to maximize rewards with this card.

Ink Business Preferred Credit Card
Welcome bonus: Earn 90,000 bonus points after spending $8,000 on purchases in the first three months after account opening.
According to TPG’s September 2025 valuations, this welcome bonus is worth $1,845.
This bonus is the standard offer we see on this card. We’ve seen better offers in the past, so we recommend waiting until at least 100,000 points are offered.
Annual fee: $95
Earning rates:
- 3 points per dollar on shipping purchases, internet, cable and phone services, travel, and advertising purchases with social media and search engines (on the first $150,000 spent in combined purchases across these categories each year, then 1 point per dollar)
- 1 point per dollar on all other purchases
Who should apply: Small-business owners with significant spending in the above bonus categories will be happy to earn up to 450,000 points per year on those purchases. This card also provides access to Chase’s airline and hotel transfer partners, so it can stand on its own in your wallet.

Ink Business Premier Credit Card
Welcome bonus: Earn $1,000 in bonus cash back after spending $10,000 on purchases in the first three months after account opening.
This has been the standard bonus on this card since it launched in late 2021; we have not seen any elevated offers, so now is a good time to apply.
Annual fee: $195
Earning rates:
- 2.5% cash back on purchases of $5,000 or more
- 2% cash back on all other purchases
Who should apply: This card is ideal for small-business owners looking for a card with a flexible spending limit. That means you must pay the bill in full each month and cannot carry a balance. If you can meet these criteria, you’ll enjoy the unlimited earning potential on this card.
It’s worth noting, however, that the rewards from this card cannot be combined with Chase Ultimate Rewards-earning cards.

Are these bonuses worth it?
It’s worth getting one of these cards if you have a major purchase coming up that you want to use to earn one of these welcome bonuses, or if you want to take advantage of their earning rates sooner rather than later.
While these cards won’t add to your Chase 5/24 total, you need to be under that number to apply for any cards with Chase. If you’ve opened five or more credit cards (from any bank) in the past 24 months, you will likely be declined when applying.
Business credit cards — or cards with significant welcome bonuses — tend to have higher spending requirements to achieve the bonus. If you can meet that requirement, the welcome bonus is almost always worth the effort.

Bottom line
If you can combine your rewards with an existing Ultimate Rewards account, these bonus offers are even more valuable. While you do have to consider 5/24 when applying, it’s certainly worth looking at these current offers.
Most small businesses should be able to hit the spending threshold to take advantage of any of the bonuses. Any of the Ink Business credit cards could be a solid addition to anyone’s wallet.
