American Express, hands down. I use their personal card, but both my
brother and father have the company card, and love it.

Too few businesses accept AMEX for me to consider them. They also extort
more money from the vendors -- which is why we threw them out of the hotel
back in 2002. Even Walgreen's threw them out of all 14,000+ stores in the
U.S. because of their absurdly high rates.

IMHO, unless they change their business model, they will follow "Diner's
Club" into the ash heap of CC history.

Well, not for me, Jay.

My business does not accept Amex because of the reasons you site. However,
every website and distributor I do business with accepts it. I do about
300,000k a year on my Amex.

Amex gives me a level of service not found elsewhere with detailed quarterly
management reports for all my employees, no hassle charge-backs for disputed
charges and especially their Rewards program.

I've got an excellent surround system and other cool gadgets around the
house for "free." Just 50,000 more points and I'll have enough for that
plasma TV I've been ogling for months.
