Just started a new business and am using the Chase Ink Cash Card. What’s the best way to use the points? Cash back or Pay yourself back? I’m not traveling much at present.

Neither. Save them up, transfer to a Sapphire (or Ink Preferred). Redeem through a transfer partner like Hyatt. Very easy to blow through points, so even if you aren't traveling now, you'll thank yourself later.

Save for travel through transfer partners. Always.

I have a personal Sapphire Preferred Card so that is good to know. Thanks very much.

Transfer to Hyatt - usually the best bet. Feel free to DM if you have questions!

I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?
