Combining points

by Becky Blaine, Managing Editor, Newsletters

Recently, I opened my first business credit card, the Ink Business Cash® Credit Card, after reading the TPG card review and understanding that I might qualify based on my occasional side gig.

The current offer is up to $750 bonus cash back (or 75,000 Ultimate Rewards points). You earn $350 when you spend $3,000 on purchases in the first three months and an additional $400 when you spend $6,000 on purchases in the first six months after account opening.

I decided to aim for earning the welcome bonus because one of the under-the-radar perks of certain Chase cards is that if you hold a higher-end card like the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, you can combine your points into one Ultimate Rewards account.

The card has ended up being a great addition to my wallet because it has a $0 annual fee, plus I earn 5% back on the first $25,000 spent at office supply stores and on internet, cable and phone services, and 2% cash back on the first $25,000 spent in combined purchases at gas stations and restaurants.

I recently redeemed my new points by transferring to Air France-KLM’s loyalty program Flying Blue to take advantage of the 25% Chase transfer bonus and booked business-class seats on KLM for a summer trip — one-way from the East Coast to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) for 50,000 points plus $206 in taxes.

If you want to earn more Chase Ultimate Rewards points, check out the Ink Business credit cards to see if one might be a fit for you.

And if you have points you want to use for flights, be sure to check out the 25% transfer bonus to Flying Blue before it ends April 30.
