Ink Business Preferred suits businesses that spend heavily on advertising and shipping. It earns 3 points per $1 on the first $150,000 each account anniversary year in combined travel, shipping, social media and search engine advertising, and internet, cable and phone purchases, then 1 point per $1. The annual fee is $95 and new cardmembers can earn 100,000 bonus points after spending $8,000 in the first 3 months. Chase includes cell phone protection worth up to $1,000 per claim for phones on a monthly bill paid with the card, limited to 3 claims in 12 months with a $100 deductible. There are no foreign transaction fees, and points can be redeemed for cash, gift cards or travel or transferred to partners. Compared with Ink Business Cash, the categories cover online ads and shipping, and the cap is six times higher. The fee and the higher bonus threshold make it a worse fit for owners with modest monthly spend.
