Chase Adds Restrictive Language To Ink Cash & Ink Unlimited Cards

(Update 11/20/25: They are now enforcing this with a popup, see this post.)

In recent weeks Chase has added/reworded the following on Chase Ink Business Cash and Chase Ink Business Unlimited cards:

The new cardmember bonus may not be available to you if you have ever had this card or any other Chase for Business card without an annual fee. We may also consider factors pertinent to your business in determining your bonus eligibility.

At first we didn’t post as it didn’t seem like this was actually being enforced at all but it seems the net has tighten with more applicants receiving a pop up stating they are not eligible.
