Business Credit Card

[DirtyMike]

I need a CC to use for business expenses, continuing ed, licensing, insurance, etc. I thought about getting a cabelas card since I already have a scheels card but started to look into something with miles/cash back. What do you people suggest?

For what you describe I think you have a plan.

I have a Cabelas card for personal and Scheels for business. Makes my life so much easier for book keeping.

Need to figure out what is the most important to earn rewards towards. For my wife and I we travel a lot so I have Capital one venture card 90 bucks a year and double points on every dollar spent, put probably 90% of all expenses a year on it and get enough points every year to cover most all travel expenses for a week long vacation airline tickets for 2 round trip rental car for a week and a couple night hotel. We lump that on top of a hotel chain rewards card and between the 2 can cover all hotel rooms for a week as well.

I suggest getting the company card I carry. I don't know what it is, I charge stuff on it every month and fill out some paper work at the end of the month and I never have to write a check to pay it off!

At this point, the total amount purchased really wouldn't be that much. In the neighborhood of $3-4K. So I probably wouldn't earn much for miles or cabelas points for that matter. On top of that, I have to get one for the lure painting eventually.

If this practice ever gets to the size of MDU, I'm sure I won't have to worry about paying for yearly education and licensing.

Cabela's appears to be ripe for a buyout from Bass Pro and Goldman Sachs. I would use your Cabela's points whilst you have them.

P.S. Watch their sales this year. You will save a bundle. Dick Cabela died 2 years ago and the kids probably want to cash in.

Generally the store credit cards Cabelas/Scheels etc. aren't that great. They usually give you 1% on purchases and maybe 1.5-2% on purchases for that company. I use capitol one venture for my personal card, 2 points per $ spent. I put everything on it and of course pay it off every month. They usually have pretty good bonus if you spend a certain amount in the first few months as well. I don't think i have paid for an airline ticket in about 5 years and am still sitting on about $1,400 worth of points.

I use Chase Ink for buisness..you earn cash back rewards...I have chase Freedom for personal..does the same thing....I've got over $200 cash back...I had $300, I'll ready spent $100 in cablelas, when you want to redeem, you have to go to the rewards section and pick out which place you want your gift card for and for what amount.

We use an amazon, opens up the planet basically as far as free loot with points.

I use my company card, but there are probably some better ones. PM me and I will let you know.

For that much you could request a second card to your scheels account. You can still sort all transactions by user for book keeping.

FYI if you put 25,000 on your scheel card you get upgraded 3pts per doller anywhere and 5 in scheels. plus you get a fancy box!

I think that high end card is only 1.5 points everywhere, 5 pts at Scheels.
