    Common questions

    Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, Chase Ink Business Cash or Citi Strata Card?
    The Chase Ink Business Cash has the bigger bonus, $750 bonus cash back, worth roughly $750, versus 20,000 bonus points (~$340) on the Citi Strata Card.
    Is the Chase Ink Business Cash's $0 annual fee worth it compared to the Citi Strata Card?
    The Chase Ink Business Cash has no annual fee, so the question is whether the Citi Strata Card's $0 fee is justified by its perks. If you'll use enough of the Citi Strata Card's benefits to clear $0 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 Citi Strata Card?
    Yes, since they're from different issuers (Chase and Citi) 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 Chase Ink Business Cash or the Citi Strata 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. Citi Strata Card: no published min spend. Pick the easier minimum spend if you're new to points; pick the larger bonus if you have planned big purchases coming up.
