Best Business Card?
« on: August 22, 2012, 11:55:40 AM »
I would like to open a business card that would only be used for business expenses, mainly around 6 round trip flights to Israel a year, hotel stay, fed ex etc. I was thinking of opening a starwood card, but would not be putting my personal expenses on it. And if i redeemed points at starwood hotel for leisure and not business I wouldn't use that card and would not get the extra points. Is starwood still the best business option for me? Is a chase card better, or maybe another AMEX card?
