Card Comparison: Business Credit Cards - November 2008

In this post, I compare business credit cards which represent a fast growing segment in credit card industry, the reason for fast growth is its popularity. As I pointed out in the q&a, individuals without a business are eligible to apply for a business credit cards, so you don’t need to worry about your eligibility, it’s ok for you to consider them the same as consumer credit cards. The way I compare business credit cards is to break all cards down to major benefit categories of benefits:
