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.
