Is the Chase Ink Business Premier worth the $195 annual fee?

Only if the value you actually use clears $195. Chase advertises up to $0 across 6 benefits, but 6 expire on a deadline. Here is the math, from the issuer’s own terms.

Most of this card's value is the points or cash back it earns. The WTF Check counts credits only, so weigh what you earn on top.

Chase Ink Business Premier FAQ

What is the annual fee on the Chase Ink Business Premier?

Chase lists the Chase Ink Business Premier annual fee at $195. If you hold an older version of the card at a different fee, you can enter your actual fee in the WTF Check so the math reflects what you really pay.

What is the break-even point on the Chase Ink Business Premier?

You break even once the value you actually use reaches $195. WorthTheFee tracks 6 benefits worth up to $0 in listed value — that is the maximum, not a guarantee. Unused credits do not count toward break-even.

Do any Chase Ink Business Premier benefits count automatically?

No. Every tracked benefit on this card requires you to use it or meet a condition, so WorthTheFee starts your net value at $-195 and only adds value as you confirm usage.

How often do the Chase Ink Business Premier credits reset?

Credits reset on different clocks: 6 reset once a year. Unused credits do not roll over — when a period ends, that value is gone.

Do unused Chase Ink Business Premier credits roll over?

No. Statement credits expire at the end of their period. That is why WorthTheFee counts only the value you confirm you will use, rather than the issuer's advertised total.

Where did WorthTheFee get these Chase Ink Business Premier benefit values?

From Chase's own published card and terms pages, linked in the Official sources section on this page. WorthTheFee is not the issuer and does not receive payment to change a verdict.
