Ink 100k: business cards, 8k spend, no annual fee. Offer ending soon.

Chase Ink Business Cash and Ink Business Unlimited both offer 100,000 Ultimate Rewards points after 8,000 spend in the first four months, with no annual fee. Delta flyers can redeem those points through Chase Travel for 1,000 toward any Delta itinerary that appears, earning SkyMiles and MQD on paid fares booked that way. The points can also be combined with other eligible Chase cards for transfer to airline/hotel partners. Chase labels both "OFFER ENDING SOON" with no specific date, so the urgency is real but uncalendared.

the play

If you have legitimate business activity and can comfortably meet the 8k spend without carrying a balance or manufacturing purchases, apply for whichever of the Ink Cash or Ink Unlimited fits your earning patterns before Chase pulls the offer.

This drop was reframed from a real reader question asked around the web. Written with the assistance of a language model in the voice of Vanessa Bloome.

$200 Cashback: 20% off a $1,000 airfare, but only on Amex Travel's Platinum fares.

This Amex Offer gives $200 statement credit on a single $1,000+ purchase of Platinum Member Airfares on 15 listed airlines via Amex Travel. That's a 20% effective discount, but the catch is you must book through Amex Travel and select the specific 'Platinum Airfares' ticket type. The eligible airlines include Delta, American, Alaska, Air Canada, and others, but no Emirates or non-list carriers. If you have a US-issued Platinum Card and a qualifying itinerary, this is a straightforward 20% rebate, net of any price premium Amex Travel might charge. The offer expires October 31, 2026.

the play

Enroll the offer in your Amex Offers portal, then book a $1,000+ Platinum Member Airfare on one of the 15 eligible airlines via Amex Travel before October 31, 2026.

30% Hilton bonus: 1.3 cpp from MR, but only if you beat 0.5 cpp on the other end.

Amex MR to Hilton is at a 30% bonus through October 14, turning 1,000 MR into 2,600 Hilton points. At Hilton's frequent 0.5 cent per point sale price, that pegs 1 MR at 1.3 cents. The math works if you have a specific Hilton redemption that pushes above that 0.5 cpp floor -- otherwise, you are just buying points at a standard rate.

the play

Transfer Amex MR to Hilton by October 14 only if your target Hilton stay yields more than 0.5 cents per point in value.
