Brex Cash was recently introduced, and I wrote in a separate post about why this is so great. I signed up for an account a while back, and wanted to report back on my experience. I've earned over 110,000 points (which can be transfered to airline partners)…

The Brex Card for Startups has been around for a while now. Its offer was unique: a corporate credit card, but tailored to newly launched startups and tech companies, without requiring a personal guarantee. Bottom line up front? You can get up to 110,000…
The American Express Platinum cards are some of the most well-known premium cards out there. Many people are familiar with The Platinum Card® from American Express (review), which is the personal version of the card. In this post, I wanted to take a…
Back in the day you'd only earn one point per dollar spent on credit cards. Then we saw some cards introduce up to 1.5x points per dollar spent. Then in 2017 a card was introduced that offers a full 2x transferable points per dollar spent all with no…
I'd argue that the best portfolio of business cards out there is Chase's "Ink" cards, as they're even offering improved bonuses for new members right now. This includes the following three excellent business credit cards: Ink Business Preferred® Credit…
In recent years we've seen business credit cards become more compelling than ever before, as credit card issuers increasingly try to find products that meet the needs of small business owners. The Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card (review) was introduced…
There are all kinds of business cards out there, with different annual fees, different benefits, and different return on spending. However, fundamentally they're all more or less similar. Then there's the recently introduced Brex Card for Startups, which…
Over the past few weeks we've seen lots of companies start rolling out discounts, statement credits with credit card issuers, and other purchasing incentives -- there are some great deals out there. And a natural side-effect of that is that a lot of…
Ever since Congress passed the CARES Act on March 27th, it seems like it's been dominating the news cycles as much as COVID-19 itself. As small business owners, we've all been trying to wrap our heads around it, and when the topic came up with Ben and…
For the most part business credit cards didn't used to be nearly as rewarding as personal credit cards. However, over the past few years that trend has changed significantly. Presumably this is because card issuers finally see the amount of potential…
Back in the day, it was rare to see big welcome bonuses or generous rewards structures on small business credit cards. That has changed, and nowadays we're seeing card issuers place a huge emphasis on business cards. This is obviously an area where they…
American Express is expanding their offerings in Canada as of today with a new credit card (not a charge card!) geared towards small business owners. Like the American Express Cobalt™ Card, the American Express Business Edge Card carries a points…
Chase has one of the best portfolios of business credit cards, which offer just about everything I look for in credit cards -- great welcome bonuses, big category bonuses, and useful perks. In this post I wanted to specifically focus on one aspect of…
When it comes to Amex business cards, your mind probably immediately thinks of The Business Platinum Card® from American Express and American Express® Business Gold Card. Considering that Amex launched versions of the Gold and Platinum cards decades…
I was recently approved for the Capital One® Spark® Miles for Business, which is offering a welcome bonus of up to 200,000 bonus miles (with a significant spend requirement). I've significantly increased my business card portfolio in the past couple…
Credit card points can be lots of fun to redeem, and are probably one of the main reasons why most of us are here, but paying cards off is usually not as enjoyable. In addition to the obvious, tracking and linking different accounts can start to turn…
When you're just getting into to miles and points, one of the first things you check when looking at a new card is the welcome bonus. I mean, who wouldn’t? If you’re going to give a new card a try, a little (or big) incentive can go a long way. When…
In March we learned that American Express and Costco would be cutting ties, which was a pretty big loss for American Express. The loss of Costco threatens roughly 8% of the annual worldwide spending on American Express cards. But American Express was…
SAS has just announced that they'll be discontinuing their all business class flight between Houston and Stavanger, and instead will be adding an additional flight between Newark and Copenhagen. Last August, SAS launched an all business class flight…
There have been oodles of questions over on the Ask Lucky forum about credit cards lately, from all corners of the globe. In the US, maximizing credit cards are one of the easiest ways to earn miles and points, so it makes sense that people would want…
I've explained many times in the past how you're best off accruing transferrable points currencies. They give you a lot more flexibility than "fixed" points currencies, as you can transfer them to any of a number of airline or hotel transfer partners.…
The always awesome Scott Mayerowitz of the Associated Press published a fun story today, entitled "Airline world's tiny secret: infatuation with model planes." I figured the article would be about model airplanes as such. Back in the day (before I perpetually…
I wrote a post last week about the best current sign-up bonuses for small business credit cards, which focused on the best currently available bonuses for business credit card rewards. Reader Justin asked a great follow-up question, which I think provides…
I am by no means a tax expert, though fortunately I have friends who are. Last year my friend Scott (@ScottTaxLaw) was kind enough to write a series of posts on business travel and the tax implications, and given that we’re in the thick of tax…
