You did it wrong. And applying with your SSN had nothing to do with your decline. Don't pretend to have an elaborate business that you can't back up - even if you can stretch it to seem kinda plausible.

What you should have done (and could do in 30 days if you wish to reapply) is to simply apply as a "Sole Proprietor". From that point, pick a category/subcategory that makes sense for you, put minimal levels of income and years in business. I have gotten 3 Chase business cards doing exactly that (2 using my SSN, the 3rd with an EIN), as have a large number of other people - oddly enough, it is easier to get approved following those steps than for legitimate small business owners applying for their businesses.
That one has an annual fee and requires $5k spending from what I can see, but the CB and bonus amount are indeed better.
When I signed up years ago, basic Ebay sellers were viewed as a business. Today YMMV but I still have the card.

One thing to know, the buyer protections granted to customers of non-business VISA cards may not come with the business card. You may want to check carefully before using this card for higher risk purchases.

Used actual real business name...registered with IRS and used before on another Chase Ink card. They still couldn't match the info and required my EIN letter.

I've scrolled through about 30 of the 630 comments before giving up and asking this: is this one of those Chase cards I see on SD offering discounts and rewards points as well? Or just the cash back? I want to get a Chase card for the perks but I am confused by all the different products.

All first-party Chase rewards cards (which I think is all of them other than the slate), both personal and business, only do points, not cash back, despite the terms people use about them.

People who don't travel (or don't know better) just treat them as cash back (1 cent per point)

People who do travel (and know better) instead get much more value per point out of them.


Third party chase cards (ie they are issued by chase but branded by a 3rd party like Marriott or Southwest) each have their own rewards systems tied to them instead.

How can I tell if my Chase Ink Business card is approved under my SSN or my EIN (Employer Identification Number)? The reason I ask is because I applied under my SSN, and Chased requested proof of my business. I sent them my EIN letter from the IRS, and Chase approved. Thanks for your help.

I work as an independent contractor. Does that count as a small business?

I sell random stuff every other month on Ebay to clean out my garage. Used my ssn and set as sole proprietorship. Got approved for ink preferred no problem.

Long story short, I dont think you will have a problem either.

No instant approval. 30 days first, then I call a week later and was told approved. Really straightforward.

WOW! They made me EARN that $500!!! 3 phone calls and a branch visit. The phone rep sent me to the branch, spoke to business manager and he said come in and speak with X. Get there, guy knows nothing of appointment or situation and proceeds to call recon line and hand me the phone!!! 45 minutes later, still on the phone and getting attitude from "business analyst". Called back, another attitudy girl ready to go home (just after 4pm central but they were in Florida)..told her, get me an analyst manager, who turned out to be the first person with a clue all day. She was polite and worked out kinks and approved card.

And yes, I'm one of the people with a business. They told they couldn't verify my business with a business credit bureau, but then said they would not accept tax info or invoices.....HUH???

I applied this with a made up business name and they called wanting proof of business and was declined in the end.

This time I applied with business name exactly as my name and it was approved.

Yes, you get more money to use toward traveling, but sometimes it's not always a better deal. I have over $700 in UR that is worth a little over $900 through the travel portal, but i can get a much better package deal through bundling on a site like Travelocity or Priceline. It's also limited on what airlines it offers, or so I remember.

I just went ahead and signed up for this for the $500 back. But I think I am going to keep this card for a long time. 5% back on my internet, that is awesome. I recently signed up for the 80,000 point offer on the other ink card and didn't have any issues signing up for this as well. I'm going to cancel that card though. This one doesn't have a yearly fee. Awesome deal.
