Staples is a U.S. office-supply retailer with about 1,000 stores plus a strong business-to-business operation. In-store and online charges code as office supplies on every card we track. The Chase Ink Business Cash earns 5% back at office-supply stores including Staples (capped at $25K/yr in combined office supply + telecom spend) — typically the strongest pairing for small-business cardholders. Staples also runs a Rewards program issuing points-back on recycling and ink purchases.

Picks without a tag earn at Staples both in-store and online. Watch for theOnline onlytag — those bonuses only apply on staples.com.
