    Editorial take: Norwegian Cruise Line World Mastercard

    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, Norwegian Cruise Line World Mastercard or Chase Ink Business Unlimited?
    The Chase Ink Business Unlimited has the bigger bonus, $750 bonus cash back, worth roughly $750, versus 25,000 WorldPoints (~$250) on the Norwegian Cruise Line World Mastercard.
    Is the Norwegian Cruise Line World Mastercard's $0 annual fee worth it compared to the Chase Ink Business Unlimited?
    The Norwegian Cruise Line World Mastercard 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 Norwegian Cruise Line World Mastercard.
    Can I have both the Norwegian Cruise Line World Mastercard and Chase Ink Business Unlimited?
    Yes, since they're from different issuers (Bank of America 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 Norwegian Cruise Line World Mastercard or the Chase Ink Business Unlimited first?
    Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. Norwegian Cruise Line World Mastercard: $1,000 spend in 3 months. 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.
