It looks pretty similar to the Advanta Business Card. As far as I can tell, the Advanta card gives you broader 5% earning potential (you get 5% Cash Back on utilities, computer equipment, and Internet in addition to gas, cell phones, and office supplies), but it limits rewards to $25 a month. This card doesn't seem to place any limits on the rewards.

I also like the advanta card a lot. What I like about the SimplyCash card is the Cash Back is credited monthly, so there is no waiting. Both are great cards.

in most cases, even though you got the error message, your application went through fine.

have anyone receive their card yet?

They called me on the phone about this. I told them I didn't have a business and they asked if I had any rental property. They said that would qualify. Bummer though that it doesn't give 5% at Costco.

In for one! That 5% on the telephone bill will be sweet.

Is it too tough to create a hyperlink?
Good card though!

Does AMEX allow credit limits allocations between personal and business lines ?

Yes they do. You can do it through their online reallocation application

Those who got this card can you please tell if Staples, Officemax, OfficeDepot count as 5% merchants. Also are Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA and Fry's eligible for 5%.

I am trying to decide whether to apply for this card or not.

TIA

Hahahaha... you should just use CASH!!!



Not to thread hog BUT....Anyone bashing AMEX, just doesnt know. They are, the ONLY company you want on your side if you have to dispute anything, they have your back!!!! So if you didnt know now u know!

FTW, If you have screwed them in the past(ie Defaulted) , they are the only company that will not extend to you. The rule of 7 years is not applicable.

What percentage of gas stations take AMEX?

Can you set up an autopay from a bank so the bill is automatically paid in full each month?

YMMV. It took the whiff of legal action to get them to remove an unauthorized charge after repeatedly failing to do so on one of my accounts. </blockquote>
