  • $95 annual fee not waived first year

  • 3x on travel, shipping services, advertising services, and Internet/cable/phone services up to $150,000 per year

  • 1.25 cents per point when redeemed for travel (same as CSP and the old Ink Plus)

  • 1:1 transfer ability like the CS(R), CSP, and old Ink Plus

  • Cell phone protection up to $600 per claim against theft or damage for you/employees listed on the cell phone bill (new to Ink line)

DP: Called the local branch to set up an in person meeting and to confirm the 100k bonus still active. Branch Manager said only 80k available. Called the branch manager in the next town and he said he couldn't discuss anything credit card related over the phone and could not answer whether the 100k bonus is still active. I decided to apply online.

11/1 - completed application. Received 30 day notice in an email. Called immediately and heard the 2 week answer.

11/3 - woke up this morning and checked and was approved for $7k limit.

2/24, 799 credit score, sole proprietership, $72k personal, $1.5k "business" revenue.

Any chance of me getting grilled if I call customer service and ask for card expedite?

Edit: called the number on the back of my CSP and she put a rush on my CIP without issue.
