We use a travel card from our bank, we generally have enough points to go on an all inclusive vacation in the Caribbean every year from it.

I use Spark. 1.5% cash back on ALL purchases no limit. I usually rack up $100-150 a month. Helps "take back" some of the lost $$ I pay to to the mafia...er I mean credit card processors.

I was looking at one that pays something ridiculous like 5% back up to $150k on office supplies, but I don't think that the paper companies/wide format supply companies would fall under that. Does anyone know if they would?

We only use a credit card to pay bills, buy materials, and purchase equipment (when possible). We have always liked our Chase Ink Bold since it was a charge card and we had a flexible limit and paid it off in full. Over the last few years they have changed the terms and we lost our yearly bonus points and etc. So we are currently in the hunt for a better card to spend our money with.

American Express, if you have a problem with something they take care of it.

I will never hold a AMEX card just due to how they treat us a merchants.

Why is that, because you have to pay the extra fees to use their card or they cut payment because of a disgruntled customer?
I use paypal for things off the internet, Amex for most everything in my business, and of course cash for dinners and drugs.

Old people like the prestige of Amex. Younger people see it as a waste of $$
Yes Amex refunded me 10000.00$ for a n led display sign that didn't work and the company went out of business

I've always wondered why someone would want a credit card that made you pay an annual fee. They're already going to make money off you if you don't pay the balance in full each month. I saw an AmEx the other day with an annual fee of $495. I can't even begin to wrap my head around that. Maybe that makes sense if I use some of that Common Core crap that they're teaching my daughter where you don't actually learn how to add and subtract, you just use boxes for everything.

Actually never had a disputed charge with AMEX, but I've had them hold large $50,000+ payments because they didn't like my invoices or the way products are worded on our invoices. I've asked some of my best clients switch away from AMEX and they have so its less of an issue for us now.

I don't get it either. Annual fee, bad rewards but hey, you can have a credit card that old business men are proud of.
No thanks. I like the no annual fee and $$ back every month club better then yours.

This is the card Texas_Signmaker uses with the freebies every month. "EatenGood"!
When you buy a TV or printer and it comes with a 1 year warranty. AmEx will double that, in other words, a 2 year warranty on the TV.

Lol, doesn't look like the real "Lone Star" card...but hey it's been a few years since I was eligible for one.
BTW, I think most credit cards double the warranty. Just admit you like having the Amex name in your purse, makes you feel like a big man who "made it"
