About this card

The Ink Business Preferred Credit Card earns an overall rating of 4.0, placing it in the 'Excellent' category. This card is a powerhouse for small business owners with very good credit who prioritize maximizing travel rewards and consistently pay their balances in full. Its strengths are exceptionally compelling: an outstanding Rewards Rating of 4.8, driven by a generous 100,000-point sign-up bonus, impressive 3x earning categories on essential business expenses (up to $150,000 annually), and the highly flexible 1:1 point transfers to numerous valuable travel partners. The Fees Rating of 4.5 is also excellent, with a moderate $95 annual fee that is easily offset by the substantial value delivered, especially with no foreign transaction fees and complimentary employee cards. Furthermore, the card benefits from an excellent Reputation (4.7) among both financial experts and users, solidifying its standing as a top-tier business offering backed by Chase's strong brand. The primary drawback is its APR Rating of 1.5. The variable regular APR, ranging from 17.74% to 26.74%, is quite high, and there is no introductory APR offer. This makes the Ink Business Preferred an expensive option for businesses that frequently carry a balance, as interest charges would quickly erode the value of earned rewards. However, for its ideal target audience—businesses that consistently pay their balances in full each month to avoid interest—the card's benefits in rewards, protections, and fee structure far outweigh the annual fee, and the high APR becomes a non-issue. The strong value proposition, particularly in rewards and perks, firmly places it as an excellent choice despite the significant limitation regarding interest rates for those who carry a balance.
