Episode notes
Missed Opportunity With New Card
- Chase missed the opportunity to create a unique premium business card that competes with Venture X or Amex Platinum.
- The new card is redundant, mirrors the personal Sapphire Reserve, and has an unjustified $795 annual fee.
3x Points on Uncapped Ad Spend
- The new Chase business card offers 3x points on unlimited online advertising spend, uncapped, which is unique.
- This benefit is highly valuable for businesses spending heavily on online ads but limited for others.
High Fee Doesn’t Match Rewards
- The $795 annual fee on the new Chase business card is very high, with credits that feel like coupon gimmicks.
- Many existing business cards cover similar perks without such a high fee, making this card less worthwhile.
