    Editorial take: Apple Card

    Editorial take: Chase Ink Business Unlimited

    The business version of Freedom Unlimited. Flat 1.5% on every business expense with no annual fee, perfect catch-all for anything that doesn't fit a bonus category.

    Common questions

    Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, Apple Card or Chase Ink Business Unlimited?
    The Chase Ink Business Unlimited has a public bonus ($750 bonus cash back, worth roughly $750), while the Apple Card doesn't advertise one right now.
    Is the Apple Card's $0 annual fee worth it compared to the Chase Ink Business Unlimited?
    The Apple Card has no annual fee, so the question is whether the Chase Ink Business Unlimited's $0 fee is justified by its perks. If you'll use enough of the Chase Ink Business Unlimited's benefits to clear $0 in value annually, it's worth it; otherwise stick with the Apple Card.
    Can I have both the Apple Card and Chase Ink Business Unlimited?
    Yes, since they're from different issuers (Goldman Sachs and Chase) the application rules don't conflict. Many points enthusiasts hold both, they pair well when one earns flexible bank points and the other earns a different currency.
    Should I get the Apple Card or the Chase Ink Business Unlimited first?
    Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. Apple Card: no published min spend. Chase Ink Business Unlimited: $6,000 in 3 months. Pick the easier minimum spend if you're new to points; pick the larger bonus if you have planned big purchases coming up.
