While the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Sapphire Reserve and Ink Business Preferred allow you to transfer points to partner loyalty programs, that same redemption options doesn’t hold true for your no-annual-fee cards, such as the Ink Business Cash and Ink Business Unlimited. If you earn 90,000 bonus points from the Ink Business Cash or Ink Business Unlimited, you can use those points to stay at one of these all-inclusive properties for up to seven nights. While points earned from the Ink Business Cash or Ink Business Unlimited don’t count toward earning the Companion Pass, having the points can still be beneficial. When redeeming your Ultimate Rewards points directly through your Ink Business Cash or Ink Business Unlimited, points are worth 1 cent each. This makes the 90,000 bonus points on the Ink Business Cash and Ink Business Unlimited worth $1,125 to $1,350 towards your next vacation — when paired with a premium card.
