You can get matched to the 100k offer but need to spend 20k in 12 months.

Does the Chase United Club card get double miles for United purchases?
Are there any 50k Barclays bonuses around now?

The names on the offers are the same? Not one offer in your name and an offer in a business which they think has the same name as your name?

Says under Amex Plat Biz in fine print that if you've had a BGR, you don't qualify for 40k bonus???  Has anybody gotten it still?

Why?
Confirmed :'(
AMEX is paring down their affiliate program by 99% later today.  But I started this long before they were around and I'll be doing this long after today when they cut my links..

What cards offer companion tickets or other bonuses for annual spending?  I feel like that would be useful info for the wiki

Is the Chase Freedom card the best no fee cash back card out there?

Chase Freedom is not a cash back card.
CapitalOne has a 2% cash back business card. IIRC, there's no fee.

Cash back no, the capital one 1.5 cash back is more, but freedom is points that can by transfered to miles and might be better.

So the Capital one is the best if you don't want a business card and just want cash back and no fee? Someone in my office was asking me.

Yes, but there are certain categories that other cards give more and if he wants he can buy gift cards there and get more CB.
