B&H credit card

[mevinyavin]

Dan posted a deal just now from B&H and Amazon. He noted a few benefits for using Amazon, but nothing was mentioned about B&H.
I feel silly mentioning this in a community of master credit card wielders, but shouldn't mention be made of B&H's card that saves on sales tax? Or is it so bad that no one would think of having one?
Just wondering...

(Agav, as one who lives in Eretz Yisrael, the cheshbon runs like this:
 -Amazon: no tax and free shipping if I spend between $49 and $74
- B&H: no tax and possible employee discount from my immediate family who works there, but then someone needs to bring it for me...)

Amazon card saves 5% or Ink saves ~7.5% on Amazon GCs.
That can be better or worse, depending on your tax rate.

So we’re talking about getting a CC just to avoid sales tax at one specific merchant? Cool perk, but you’d have to be spending quite a bit at B&H to justify getting a card just for that.

Thanks for clarifying. I knew I was missing something...
I fully understand the advantage of the card for B&H employees. For everyone else, it is highly situational...

Also using the b&H card, you will lose cc benefits as return protection, additional warranty. etc.

What's the benefit for employees?

They also get employee pricing. The combination is often (not always, but often) unbeatable anywhere else.
