Chase Ink Plus Split Testing $150 Annual Fee

The Chase Ink Plus, one of the best business cards on the market, has long offered new applicants no annual fee for the first 12 months, then a $95 annual fee.

Today I noticed two other offers on the Ink Plus being split tested by Chase (and there may be more.) By repeatedly going to the Ink Plus' page in a Chrome Incognito browser, I got three different offers.

They were:

$0 annual fee for first twelve months

Chase Freedom 20,000 Point Bonus

The Chase Freedom is offering 20,000 bonus Ultimate Rewards after spending $500 in the first three months. This is double the normal sign up bonus.

It is also offering up to 50,000 bonus Ultimate Rewards for existing cardholders who refer their friends to the Freedom.

I have the Freedom. The sign up bonus is puny, but the card has no annual fee, and has 5x bonus categories that rotate every quarter.

The 140k Ritz Carlton Rewards Card – Should You Sign Up?

The Chase Ritz Carlton card is offering up to 140,000 bonus points after spending $2,000 in the first 3 months.

Or you can choose fewer bonus points with an annual fee that is waived the first year.

 This card comes with a plethora of benefits:

$100 hotel credit for stays of 2 or more nights at any Ritz property
Gold Elite status for the first year at Ritz properties

There are several versions of the card and several

For me, first class flights would be out of reach without miles. I can't spend $10,000 for a first class flight on an airline like Emirates.

Luckily I don't need to because I have plenty of miles, and I could fly economy class in a pinch.

Fancy hotels are similar.

Nuggets 7/20/12

I'm busy preparing for the first ever live MileValue.com seminar in Honolulu that starts in 10 hours, so I'll summarize a few interesting nuggets you may have missed.

We all get jealous when we hear that other people have been targeted for better sign up bonuses than the best publicly available credit card offers. Thepointsguy has a way to check whether you've been targeted for any Chase offers lately.
