Credit Cards Offering Special Business Travel Points and Rewards

In the ever-growing world of niche-oriented credit cards, business travelers have a number of options to choose from. Here are some of my favorites:

• Travelers using the Visa Business Travel Card earn two travel points for ever dollar spent on travel and lodging expenses in addition to one point for all other purchases. Travel rewards kick in at 25,000 points.
• The Advanta Rewards Credit Card offers holders 25% off on all stays at Ramada hotels nationwide and up to 2% cash back on all purchases.
• The CitiBusiness Card with ThankYou Points offers 3 thank you points for every dollar spent on business purchases. Points can be redeemed for handy tools for the business traveler: 9,600 points gets a two-piece luggage set from Samsonite and 12,000 points redeems for a jWin 7″ Portable DVD player.

There are a lot more options where these came from, and they’re becoming more granular by the day. Within the next couple of years, I’d say that credit card companies will start offering “configure your own card” options, so that potential cardholders can pick features that work for them. All of this means that if you’re willing to take the time to look, you can cut your bottom line and provide valuable rewards to your company.
