United Club Business Card
$695/yr · 100,000 miles + 2,000 PQP

Editorial take: Chase Ink Business Cash

Highest-earning no-fee business card. 5% on internet, phone, and office supplies covers most small-business overhead. Note: The elevated $900 SUB ended Nov 13, 2025; current public offer is $750/$6k/3mo.

Editorial take: United Club Business Card

Pure United Club access card. Cash equivalent of the lounge membership is $750+/year, so the $695 fee makes sense if you're at United hubs frequently. The 1.5x base earning is the highest catch-all rate among premium business cards.

Common questions

Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, Chase Ink Business Cash or United Club Business Card?
The United Club Business Card has the bigger bonus, 100,000 miles + 2,000 PQP, worth roughly $1,500, versus $750 bonus cash back (~$750) on the Chase Ink Business Cash.
Is the Chase Ink Business Cash's $0 annual fee worth it compared to the United Club Business Card?
The Chase Ink Business Cash has no annual fee, so the question is whether the United Club Business Card's $695 fee is justified by its perks. If you'll use enough of the United Club Business Card's benefits to clear $695 in value annually, it's worth it; otherwise stick with the Chase Ink Business Cash.
Can I have both the Chase Ink Business Cash and United Club Business Card?
Yes, though both are issued by Chase so the same issuer-specific application rules apply (Chase 5/24 if applicable, Amex once-per-lifetime bonus, etc.). 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 Chase Ink Business Cash or the United Club Business Card first?
Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. Chase Ink Business Cash: $6,000 spend in 3 months. United Club Business Card: $5,000 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.
