Who This Card Is For
Self-employed or sole-proprietor users with at least $2,667/month in deductible business spend who want a SUB that doesn't count toward Chase 5/24 or other personal-card velocity caps.
How to Maximize the Sign-Up Bonus
To hit the $8,000 requirement in 3 months, you need about $2,667 per month in organic spend on this card. Route any predictable monthly bills you'd otherwise pay from a debit card — utilities, groceries, gas, streaming subscriptions — through the Chase Ink Business Preferred until you've earned the 100,000 Ultimate Rewards bonus. Because this is a business card, sign-up bonus earnings post separately from personal-card velocity rules at most issuers — so it can run in parallel with a personal SUB chase. Track the SUB cycle in Stacks OS so you can downgrade or cancel before the next AF posts if the card stops earning its keep.

Does the Chase 5/24 rule apply to this card?
Chase business cards count *against* 5/24 (i.e. they will deny you if you're over 5/24), but they do not *add to* your 5/24 count once approved. So a successful approval here doesn't burn a personal-card slot.

Once you cross the $8,000 spend threshold, the bonus typically posts within 1–2 statement cycles — call it 6–8 weeks from the day you hit the requirement. Track the milestone in Stacks OS Spending so you don't miss the deadline.
