probably Lol
I wonder if you buy food at Ikea would it be considered dining?
I don't know if they differentiate the little sit down cafeteria with the rest of the store. Swedish meatballs sounds really good :-)
Darn .. Maybe I should just try it out lol

4.75% IF you only got it and use it for supermarkets. If you also got it for uncapped 3% in department stores and gas, it can earn almost 3% there and then the full 6% on groceries! Now getting it for gas doesn't make too much sense, but the department store might.
And the Ink card non-straightforward route is better if a) you can use UR well, and b) if you spend a lot at Amazon. The INK cap is much higher than Sallie Mae and Cash Plus.
The issue i would have is getting ink card isn't that easy for some people.For me especially i don't think i would want to go thru the interrogation session that chase seems like to do with business accounts. From what i hear its like the spanish inquisition i could do without that in my life

I have heard of relatively few reports of Chase actually burning people at the stake after torturing them to confess that they don't have a real business, so maybe not quite like the Spanish Inquisition!
But yes, others have problems getting the BCP or Sallie Mae, So I was just talking in the universe of possible cards, if you can get the Ink, and spend heavily and use URs, Ink is the way to go.
I wouldn't mind getting one of the ink cards ,especially if i could take advantage of an 70k singup bonus, but interrogation isn't something i like to deal with. It feels like an amex FR plus an interrogation all bottled into one , not an fan of that.

I would be more impressed if it wasn't only 'select department stores'.
US Bank Cash+ can give 5% on department stores, and various cards give 5% on Gas, all without annual fees. But not everyone is willing to work on getting a Cash+, or even realize they still can even if they are outside of the US Bank business regions.
