Ink Bold(SM) with Ultimate Rewards

From the CompareCards.com Editorial Team:

The Chase Ink Bold Ultimate Rewards card offers bold rewards, especially for big spenders, and is the only card in the group of four different versions of Chase Ink that has no set spending limit. Another feature that is exclusive to this particular Ink card is that it comes with special concierge services. Just call concierge customer service and they’ll help you get concert tickets, restaurant reservations, and will assist with your travel arrangements or hotel bookings throughout the world.

But the main thrust of the card is its rewards, and they are organized based on how much card activity you generate each year. Earn as many as 47,500 bonus points every year, by getting 7,500 bonus points after spending $25,000 in any given year. You’ll earn 15,000 more bonus points if you spend more than $50,000, and if you happen to hit the $100,000 mark they’ll throw in another 25,000 points. You get 1 point for every $1 spent on all purchases plus double points for every $1 spent on airfare purchased through Ultimate Reward. You can earn as many as 10 points per dollar spend at Ultimate Rewards – the affiliated shopping site.

Included with membership is complimentary Priority Pass airport lounge membership(a $99 value) for the first year. Card membership fees for the first year are also waived – an incentive worth $95, which is the cost of annual fees thereafter. Plus there are no limits on how many award points you can accumulate and your points do not have an expiration date.

The Bottom-Line
For a business that plans to run lots of its expenses through this credit card it is one of the best because of all the possibilities for earning bonus points. Like other Chase business credit cards, Chase Ink Bold has other perks like airport lounge access and concierge service. There is a $95 annual fee but you don’t have to pay it until the second year, and you earn one point for every dollar spent on everyday purchases.

The Good
If you put lots of charges on the card you can earn lots of bonus points in a hurry, and there is also a VIP concierge service. The first year fee is waived, and there is no fixed spending limit. You also get a $100 sign-up bonus.

The Not So Good
To earn the maximum you have to spend heavily, plus there is a $95 annual fee after the first year.
