Good to know. This last card was the first one I'd applied for in years. I had been using the same 2 cards for about 10yrs. I wasn't into churning, but may start now that I got a few points under my belt haha

Juggle multiple cards because bank policies change all the time depending on profitability and you always want to have alternatives.

Looks like chase is rolling out 60k point signup bonus for Sapphire preferred. If you haven’t had a sapphire bonus in the last 48 months this may be the time to jump at it. Some targeted offers are at 70k points

I just got the chase ink cash card this week

What’s the easiest way to be a “business” for the purpose of getting the ink? I had a valid business for many years. Dissolved it years ago. Still have the tax returns.

You can apply as sole prop using your ss#. I organize marathon/ultra marathon trips for friends and that’s the information input in with revenue I brought in from that which was 5k last year. I have the chase business southwest card and now the ink cash. The ink preferred has a bettter signup bonus at 80k points but the ink cash has a better earn rate for my spending but it’s only 50k signup bonus

Do they validate your revenue?

I do lots of volunteer stuff that technically I could charge for. I’d never charge for it for the sake of getting a signup bonus, but I wonder if that’s good enough. I get all kinds of receipts and such that individuals give me because they assume I write these donations off. Since I really don’t have income, I don’t bother writing them off.

What if I made myself a 403k (i think that’s the term my accountant once used)?

I’m not sure if it would work or not going that route

The chase ink preferred is 80k points if you spend 5k in the first 3 months 95.00 annual fee. The chase ink cash is 50k points on 3k spend in 3 months with no annual fee. I just read online you can product change from cip to cic. If I knew that I would have signed up for the cip to get the higher bonus and then product changed

Chase seems to want to screw with us..... I guess I can’t blame them for wanting to fight back against the churners. I’ve had a few nasty encounters with them.
