OT - Best Business Credit Card?

American Express, hands down. I use their personal card, but both my

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.

Hey, I love Diner's Club (for business purchases)! They give everyone two
billing cycles to pay and they offer primary insurance (i.e. it kicks in
before your own auto insurance) on auto rentals. I don't know of any other
card that does that. Of course I like Diner's Club a lot more now that it
uses the MasterCard network!

If your flying a jet or turbo-prop for business, you need
about $75,000/30 days billing, to allow buying fuel at the
end of the month before they post your check. Either that
or just send them money every day. But that kind of defeats
the purpose.
