Pros & Cons

Ink Business Cash® Credit Card

Pros

• $0 annual fee with 5%/2%/1% structure and a $1,000 / $8,000 / 4-month public bonus as of Sept 2026
• 12-month 0% intro APR on purchases (lost only if a minimum payment is missed)
• Employee cards $0; AU spend earns rewards and counts toward the bonus and category caps
• Cash back is Ultimate Rewards points and combinable with a transferable Chase card
• Primary business rental-car coverage up to $60,000 and solid purchase/extended-warranty terms for a no-fee card

Cons

• Bonus categories cap at $25k each per anniversary year, then 1%
• 3% foreign-transaction fee
• Base rate 1% loses to flat 1.5–2% cards outside the bonus buckets
• Personal guarantee + personal hard pull + commonly reported 5/24 filter
• Welcome bonus blocked if you ever had this card or another $0-AF Chase business card; no cell-phone protection, lounges, or TSA credit

Ramp Corporate Card

Pros

• $0 card AF and $0 extra-card fees with unlimited virtual/physical cards
• No personal guarantee and no personal credit check (official); corporate liability
• Native controls, receipt capture, and accounting sync — the software is the product
• 30-day interest-free float if auto-pay succeeds
• Visa Signature purchase security, extended warranty, and rental CDW on USD cards

Cons

• Cashback rate is not a published guarantee (0–1.5%, Ramp-determined); foreign/non-USD spend excluded from Qualified Purchases
• Must pay in full; cannot revolve or balance-transfer
• Sole props ineligible; $25k cash + real U.S. address bar
• FX markup up to 3% despite “no FTF” marketing; Plus platform fee and 2026 Bill Pay per-item fees can erase “free”
• Limit can move with linked cash; missed debit is operationally harsh

Verdict

Ink Business Cash® Credit Card

Ink Cash is the category SKU in the $0-AF Ink pair — not Unlimited (flat 1.5%) and not Preferred ($95, 3x ads/shipping/travel, $0 FTF, native transfers). It wins when office supplies and phone/internet/cable bills (plus some gas and dining) sit under two separate $25k anniversary caps. Pair it with Unlimited or Preferred rather than using it as an uncapped daily driver. Skip it for foreign spend, ad-heavy businesses, no-PG underwriting, or if a prior Ink Unlimited/Cash card already burned the $0-AF bonus.

Ramp Corporate Card

Ramp is a charge-card ops platform, not a 1.5% bank card and not Brex’s sibling SKU. Official no-PG / no personal pull plus unlimited virtual cards is the reason to pick it. Do not assume 1.5% cashback, a public welcome bonus, or true $0 FX. Sole props, revolvers, and rate-guarantee shoppers should use a traditional PG cash card instead. Plus seats and Bill Pay rails are software costs, not a card annual fee.
