Chase has announced that starting October 10 you’ll no longer be able to use Chase credit cards to pay for third party Buy Now Pay Later installment plans.
Not surprising to see Chase make this change as they probably aren’t making interest on these types of charges.

We’re seeing more and more reports from readers and others who had success requesting a match for the upcoming 120,000 Chase INK Preferred offer. (1, 2, 3, 4) This is an interesting ‘match’ given that the offer is not publicly live yet.
Very interesting is that readers (1, 2) got a clear date from when the match is available. As we’ve seen in the past, they are back-dating the matching offer from May 23, 2024, before the offer was available (the offer first became available on June 23 in Chase branches).
This offer is available for cards opened on May 23, 2024 or after
Basically, after getting approved for the 100k INK Preferred offer, you’ll want to Secure Message with Chase and ask them to increase your offer from 100k to 120k due the offer having been increased to 120k. They’ll reply that you should message them again after meeting the spend and they’ll make the 20,000 points adjustment. If you are planning on meeting the spend quickly, you can just wait to message them until after you already met the spend, and they should be able to immediately make the 20,000 points adjustment.
It seems safe to assume you’ll get a match if you apply with the 100k offer. Anyone is 2-player mode would want to apply using their friend’s link and get the match instead of applying directly for the 120k offer. Another option is to wait and see if/when the regular referral links will update to 120k (my guess is they will).
Altogether, 2-players will end up with 160,000 Ultimate Rewards points after $8,000 spend and a low $95 annual fee. In my opinion this is one of the best publicly-available deals we’ve ever seen.

Credit card issuer Imprint has partnered with Turkish Airlines to launch the Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles Premier Visa Signature Credit Card. Card details are as follows:
Not sure how difficult it is to get approved with Imprint or if there are any specific rules. Currently they issue the H-E-B card. Unfortunately Turkish Airlines devalued recently.

Since launch the bonus has been $500 after $4,500 spend. This is a nice increased bonus, and also a higher spend requirement at $6,000 within 180 days. Nice, I’m considering giving this one a go, especially given the 12 months of 0% APR which I can float the $6,000 spend.

Update 7/4/24: Deal is already live in branch, via physical mailers, via preapproval, and via floating links (use those at your own risk). A report on Reddit indicates the public availability was pushed off until July 11th. (We still don’t know if this offer will ever become available via referral links, but I’d say there’s a good chance it will at some point become available.)
Update 7/2/24: Offer now showing up in pre-approvals.
Branch only offer until July 3, 2024; we’ll add the direct link when it becomes available
Chase is offering a special signup bonus on the INK Preferred business card:
We wrote about this offer a few weeks ago as a rumor, and it’s now been confirmed as already available in branch. Reports indicate it will become available online on July 3, 2024.
Over 3 years ago Chase increased the bonus offer on this card to 100,000 points, and now they’re running a in increase to 120,000 points (probably a time-limited offer). They’re keeping the lower $8,000 spend requirement which is nice.
The big question is whether referrals will update to the 120,000 offer. If that happens, this will be a historically amazing offer for someone in 2-player mode to get 160,000 Ultimate Reward points with a single signup and $8,000 of spend. Remember, referrals are paying out 40,000 points per approval until September 2024.
Another big question is whether (after publicly available) they’ll match those who signed up for the lower 100k offer. Lately they have been matching, and I think they chances are good. We’ll have to wait until July to find out.
Check out these Things to Know about Chase Credit Cards before applying. We’ll add this to our List of Best Credit Card Signup Bonuses when it becomes available online.

We saw a similar offer last year, along with the high spend requirement to get the full bonus. I still consider it a nice offer for the large bonus and the fact that you’ll meet the 135,000 Companion Pass requirement with a single credit card signup.
Simply speaking, The Companion Pass timing isn’t ideal. Read this dedicated post where we broke down how it’s possible to delay signing up for the card until September and then get nearly two full years (2025 and 2026) of Companion Pass from this one card signup.

According to a rumor Chase is planning to launch a new premium personal and business card by year’s end. The project internally is known as project emerald and it’s believed to be tailored towards Chase Private Clients (CPC).
You normally need $150,000 in funds held with Chase to qualify for CPC status with Chase, although in the past some bankers have had the ability to waive this. At one stage holding CPC status actually bypassed the 5/24 rule as well.
It will be interesting to see if this card (or cards) will offer better benefits than the Chase Sapphire Reserve or if Chase goes down the ‘status’ route like American Express does with the Centurion card.
The reader that shared the rumor has provided reliable information in the past, but as always this is only a rumor.
