Ink Business Premier Card Rewards

The new card earns rewards at the following rates:

• 5% cash-back on travel purchases made through the Chase travel portal
• 2.5% cash-back on purchase of $5,000 or more
• 2% cash-back on all other purchases

As you may know, other cash-back Chase business cards, like Ink Business Unlimited^® Credit Card and Ink Business Cash^® Credit Card, earn cash-back rewards in the form of Ultimate Rewards points that you can then combine with cards that offer access to the Chase transfer partners, like the Ink Business Preferred^® Credit Card.

However, it seems that while the Ink Business Premier card will earn Ultimate Rewards, you are not able to utilize transfer partners or combine these points with your other Ultimate Rewards-earning cards.

Final Thoughts

Since the Ink Business Premier card does not offer Ultimate Rewards points pooling and its primary use is a cash-back card, then it likely will only be useful for large businesses with high levels of spending. After all, there are already cash-back cards on the market, like the Capital One Spark Cash Plus Card*×Information collected independently. Not reviewed by Capital One. and The American Express Blue Business Cash™ Card that earn 2% back on all purchases up to $50,000 per year (1% thereafter) with lower annual fees.
