If you get the AMEX business card do you have to get a Costco Business Membership also to go with it?
Or can you still keep your regular Costco membership?

To clarify:

1. The costco business version of this card "true earnings business" gets you 5% back at all gas stations including the costco gas station, plus 3% at restaurants, 2% at airlines and hotels, and 1% everywhere else.

2. You do not need a business; just list your name as the business name

3. You can use your personal costco account; you do not need a business account

4. The "simply cash" card is unrelated to costo: it gets you 5% at gas stations BUT NOT COSTCO GAS, you also get 5% at office supply stores and wireless companies (vs the 3%/2% at restaurants and airlines/hotels).

5. I am not sure why anyone would get the personal version of this card.

Here's the fine print:

Under Terms and Conditions:
"...(f) REPRESENT THAT THE CARDS WILL BE USED FOR COMMERCIAL OR BUSINESS PURPOSES. "

Look at the last page of your billing statement. I just checked mine and it shows:

Year To Date Gasoline 0.00 @3% 0.00
Eating Out 49.66 @3% 1.49
Traveling 0.00 @2% 0.00
Everywhere Else 167.61 @1% 1.68
Total 217.27 3.17

bump for answer on terms

In the last Costco Connection magazine (given to Exec members only) there is an ad that says TrueEarning card now gives 5% on gasoline, including costco gas. There is no mention it's business only so I think this applies for every TrueEarnings card.

Hope you experts out there can answer my question.

I just applied for AMEX True Earnings Business Card. However, my costco membership is a shared one where my dad is the primary account holder, and he's the one who gets the Executive checks.

My questions are, will the gift-check come to me or my dad? Will the amount be combined with the Executive check?
