What Is The Difference Between The Chase Ink Cash And Chase Ink Unlimited

- Jan 12, 2023 Credit Card Info0 comments

Both the Ink Cash and Ink Unlimited have the same welcome offer of 90,000 points after you spend $6,000 within three months. They both have no annual fee and they both offer 0% APR for 12 months. So what is the difference between the two cards? The only difference is the reward categories. Here are the details

Category rewards for Ink Cash and Ink Unlimited

The Ink Cash earns:

5 points on up to $25,000 spent annually at the following categories: 

  • Office supply stores, (Staples, Office Depot, etc.) 
  • Internet, cable, and phone services
  • Lyft Rides

2 points on up to $25,000 spent annually at the following categories: 

  • Gas 
  • Restaurants 

1 point on all other purchases.

The Ink Unlimited earns: 

1.5 points on all purchases (and 5 points on Lyft Rides)

Which one is better?

Being that the only difference is the rewards then choosing a winner will depend on which categories you plan on using the card.

If you spend a lot in office supplies stores then your best pick would be the Ink Cash (earning 5 points). But if you’re planning on using the card for general purchases then the Ink Unlimited would be better (earning 1.5 points on all purchases). 

It’s important to note that you can buy gift cards for many popular retailers at an office supplies store and earn 5 points with the Ink Cash. For example; Amazon, Home Depot, and many more gift cards can be bought at Staples. 

Can't decide? Get both!

Chase is now approving people easily for both cards. So you can get both and designate the Ink Cash card to pay your cell phone bills and for office supplies and earn 5 points.  And get the Ink Unlimited for other purchases. 

To learn how to get approved for both Ink cards, read this post.
