A rare welcome offer is about to disappear. The Chase Ink Business Cash Card is currently carrying its highest-ever publicly available bonus — 100,000 points after spending $8,000 in the first four months — and the deadline is now confirmed: the offer is expected to be pulled at 9AM EDT on Thursday, September 17, 2026.
What makes this deal stand out is that the card charges no annual fee, which makes a bonus of this size genuinely unusual. Chase markets the reward as $1,000 in cash back, and you can absolutely take it that way. But for travellers, the smarter play is to pair the Ink Cash with a card that earns Ultimate Rewards points, such as the Chase Sapphire Reserve or Sapphire Reserve for Business. Once you do that, the bonus points can be transferred to airline and hotel partners. Valued at roughly 1.7 cents each — a common estimate among points enthusiasts — the 100K haul works out to about $1,700 in potential travel value. For context, earlier offers on this card topped out at 75,000 to 90,000 points.
Eligibility is the usual minefield. Officially, the bonus isn't available if you've previously held this exact card or any other no-annual-fee Chase business card, such as the Ink Business Unlimited. The wording says you "may" not be eligible, though, and Chase typically shows a pop-up telling you upfront if you won't get the bonus — before any hard credit pull. Holding a Chase business card with an annual fee, like the Ink Business Preferred, doesn't affect your eligibility for this one. Sole proprietors can apply using their Social Security Number in place of an EIN.
A few general Chase rules still apply. The card can be subject to the 5/24 rule — a potential rejection if you've opened five or more new card accounts in the past 24 months — though recent reports suggest that rule isn't always enforced anymore. It's also sensible to space out Chase business card applications by at least 30 days.
Even setting the welcome bonus aside, the card earns its keep long-term. It pays 5x points on the first $25,000 of combined annual spending at office supply stores and on internet, cable, and phone services, plus 2x points on the first $25,000 at restaurants and gas stations. It also includes primary rental car coverage — a perk that's almost unheard of on a no-annual-fee card — which matters if you rent cars on trips. Since there's no fee to pay, keeping the card open costs nothing and helps build a points portfolio for future redemptions.
If you've been sitting on this application, the clock is now running. Anyone who qualifies and hasn't applied should do so before the morning of September 17, 2026, since there's no indication the offer will return at this level.
