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.

Editorial take: United Quest Card

If you fly United 3+ times a year, the $125 travel credit, two free bags, and 10k miles of rebates on award flights ($100+ in direct value) make this card pay for itself.

Common questions

Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, Chase Ink Business Unlimited or United Quest Card?
The United Quest Card has the bigger bonus, 70,000 miles + 500 PQP, worth roughly $950, versus $750 bonus cash back (~$750) on the Chase Ink Business Unlimited.
Is the Chase Ink Business Unlimited's $0 annual fee worth it compared to the United Quest Card?
The Chase Ink Business Unlimited has no annual fee, so the question is whether the United Quest Card's $350 fee is justified by its perks. If you'll use enough of the United Quest Card's benefits to clear $350 in value annually, it's worth it; otherwise stick with the Chase Ink Business Unlimited.
Can I have both the Chase Ink Business Unlimited and United Quest 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 Unlimited or the United Quest Card first?
Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. Chase Ink Business Unlimited: $6,000 spend in 3 months. United Quest Card: $4,000 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.
