jziqbal said: I already have a business cash rebate card, will it be a problem getting another. Also, as long as multiple purchaes equal = $100 , thats fine, right, i mean its not one $100 purchase, right.


FYI -- I dont really have a business setup, plans started but never took off, will that be a problem?

Quickest reply/help would be appreciated.

Thanks

1. Nopes shouldn't be a problem getting another.

2. Multiple purchases are fine.

3. Nopes no problem.

I don't think it's mandatory.

jziqbal said: Thanks for the reply, actually I can't remember but I think I've applied for the AMEX Business Gold Card before, I don't know if I can sign up again.

Let us know what happens!

TTT!

welphd said: so you spend $100 (-$100)
then get $100 (+$100)

total: -100 + 100= 0. So what's the deal here? Charles Schwab Visa's $100 for any purchase is better.

I guess the only loss here over the Schwab card is the rewards you would have received for using some other card for the initial $100 in purchase.

Correct formula is

-100 + 100= 0 + $ 100 in goods or services that you would have bought in any case.

No doubt Schwab is better but no one said you have to do either or. I say do as many as you want/can.

Duh, you spend the $100 on something you were going to buy anyway, so you're really not out any money.

Easier to keep track of.

Does anybody know what happens after 1-yr of free membership... can i convert to a non-annual fee card from AMEX?

You're a sole proprietorship, use any name you want. Yours works.

Anyone tried this and got the rebate?
