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: Marriott Bonvoy Boundless

One of our favorite keeper cards. The free night award on every card anniversary easily exceeds the $95 fee, and the 15 elite qualifying nights help you reach Marriott status faster.

Can I have both the Chase Ink Business Cash and Marriott Bonvoy Boundless?
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.

Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. Chase Ink Business Cash: $6,000 spend in 3 months. Marriott Bonvoy Boundless: $3,000 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.
