Compare the Features and Benefits of Citi Prestige and
Chase Ink Business Premier℠ Credit Card

Although it has a hefty $495 annual fee, power users can find good rewards.

Citi Prestige Benefits

• Get the 4th night free on hotel bookings of 4 or more consecutive nights made through the Citi travel center – capped at 2x per calendar. Note that all bookings must be made online and will not qualify for most hotel loyalty program’s elite benefits or points earning. The Citi portal is now powered by Booking.com
• You will also get a $250 travel credit every calendar year (super easy to use and automatically applied against all travel charges) and Priority Pass airport lounge access, with full access to Priority Pass Experiences like airport dining.
• Cell phone protection: The Citi Prestige offers up to $1,000 per claim with up to 2 claims per year. Max is $1,500 in a 12-month period with a $50 deductible per claim.

Because of the high annual fee, if you won’t take advantage of the 4th night free benefit, the Citi Premier card is likely a better card for you if your goal is to earn Citi ThankYou points.

This card is no longer available to new applicants. There is not currently a replacement but one is rumored. 

The Ink Business Premier credit card from Chase fits a specific target audience.

The businesses best suited for this card spend a very high amount monthly and want to simplify their spending. Especially if you have frequent charges over $5,000, that annual fee is paid for many times over by the extra 1/2 percent earned in cash back.

While it’s easy to get caught up in miles and points, if you are spending and earning more points than you can realistically spend, it’s not at all a bad idea.

However, if you want to earn transferable points, you would be better served by a Capital One Spark Cash Select. Alone, the Spark Cash is also just straight cash, but if you have a Venture, Venture X, or Spark Miles for Business card, you can convert the cash to miles.

If that’s not a concern, then the Chase Ink Business Premier is easily the very best business charge card out there. No other credit card or charge card will get you more cash back on purchases.

Many small business owners spend a ton on inventory monthly and could be earning huge amounts of cashback, but don’t have time to learn about miles and points. This business card is perfect for those small business owners. If purchases tend to be large purchases over $5,000 (which earn 2.5%) it becomes even better.
