This promotion isn’t new, but the eligibility (meaning that it seems to not be super targeted like I originally thought) is new.

5X Miles or Ultimate Rewards Points on Shipping and Social Media Advertising
As first reported by Doctor of Credit, the Chase Ink Business Preferred, the old Chase Ink Plus, the Southwest Business credit cards and the United Business credit cards are offering 5X points or miles on purchases on shipping and social media advertising. The limit is $10,000 in spend that earns the 5X and the charge has to post by Oct. 31st, 2020.
Now, DoC talks about where this offer should show up inside your Chase account when signed in, in the Featured Benefits of your UR section within the card account. I had looked there a few times and had a total goose egg. So, imagine my surprise when a large purchase I made on advertising on the card (which would normally earn 3X anyway) earned 5X! I was pretty thrilled. And then, yesterday, it happened again with a different charge. Technically, my charges weren’t even social media though they were advertising.
Here’s the landing page for the offer for the Chase Ink Preferred and Ink Plus.
And here are the pages for United and Southwest.
Note that a couple of DoC readers report issues with Google AdSense coding correctly – although that obviously should count.

That’s 2 points on top of the 3 points you already earn on your first $150,000 spent, which includes the $10,000, in “3” point” categories each anniversary year on those purchases with your card.
