Best credit card?

    What's the best credit card to use for a small business? I've just registered my LLC a few weeks ago and got it approved.

    I guess, anything that has good perks would be nice. I don't care much for frequent flyer miles though, since I get them at work.

    ps- don't even think about posting an affiliate link here :)

    Since you're in the US I would go with MasterCard, it's accepted in more places there. Whereas up in Canada Visa is accepted in more places.

    If you travel to other countries, both Visa and MC (and Amex) are accepted equally pretty much everywhere.

    The only one I've noticed that doesn't really get much bang is the Dinner's Card, which only seems to be used in the US most of the time.

    Visa is by far the most widely used CC in the US.

    I'm pretty sure mastarcard is accepted pretty much everywhere visa is. I've never had either one turned down and I do a lot of card swiping :p

    That being said, it would just be preference. I usually just pick the best picture.

    Pretty much everywhere in the USA accepts both. That is not something to be worried about. I dont even know why that is considered a factor in the US. I have never seen somewhere accept a VISA but not MasterCard, or the other way around.

    I use the Platinum Mastercard from Citi and it's connected to the Thank You network. I do a lot of ebay sales, and over the past year, I've netted about $600 from Amazon Gift certificates. I put together a post on the best business credit cards, hope it helps you.

    IMO,mastercard is the most and widely used CC in the world.
    So,if you use to accept it then your biz will flourish and over time you should add more CC coz this will help your biz expansion plan.

    Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, doesn't really matter what type so much as the company. I've had great luck with Chase in the past
