Yesterday, we got the changes to Chase’s Pay Yourself Back for the consumer cards – namely the Sapphires.
Those categories were a definite downgrade from what was on offer through yesterday.
On the business card side, today sees a small improvement.
- Chase Ink Business Preferred and Ink Plus (legacy card product)
- Updated categories starting October 1 – Dec. 31, 2021: Cardmembers who utilize Pay Yourself Back can continue to redeem points worth 25% more on eligible business expenses in the categories of: shipping, internet, cable and phone services and charitable contributions. New categories will also include: advertising purchases made with social media sites and search engines.
- Chase Ink Business Cash, and Chase Ink Unlimited
- Updated categories starting October 1 – Dec. 31, 2021: Cardmembers who utilize Pay Yourself Back can continue redeeming points worth 10% more on internet, cable and phone services, and worth 25% more when redeemed for eligible charitable contributions.
So, if you have the Chase Ink Business Preferred, you get the same categories worth 1.25 cents a point as previously, and adds advertising purchases made with social media sites and search engines.
Ink Cash and Ink Unlimited cardholders are only getting a 1.1 cent value on internet, cable and phone services.
Remember that if you also have a Chase Sapphire Reserve, you can always transfer the points over there and redeem for dining through March 2022.
