A list of BUSINESS cards which earn miles or points.
I can't find a list of all miles/points business cards so I'm going to try to start one.
My own goal is to apply mostly for business cards, instead of personal cards, because that's the easiest way to lower your Chase 5/24 count (of "recently" opened bank cards that show on your credit report). But others may have other reasons to want specifically business cards.
Rather than trying to keep up to date with signup bonuses and application links here, my goal is to link to FT threads that do that already for specific cards.
I'm going to organize it by program, rather than by bank, since the goal here is cards that earn something you care to earn.
I welcome any corrections, additions, comments, etc.

Sorry for the hijack, but...
What qualifies one for a business card? Do I need to be an owner or a manager? Does the business need to have shown a profit? Can I just have a business name with no intention of conducting business? Thanks for enlightenment.

Summary: At most banks, you don't have to have a real business. Just picture in your mind that you're selling stuff on eBay and have no separate business name, or you're consulting on the side very rarely and have no separate business name. Anyway, that's discussed further in that linked thread.

Chase offers a BA card.
As soon as the wiki in that other thread is "fixed", I'll add it here. (Or is there actually a separate thread for the BA business card?)

No, because there is no such card. The Chase BA VISA is a personal card.
American Express issues two other business cards which earn Membership Rewards points: Green and Blue for Business.

Marketed by Bank of Hawaii, but issued by Barclays. Many medium and smaller banks outsource their card business to larger banks. MBNA was a specialist bank that was primarily in the business of issuing cards, and they had a division called FIA dedicated to operating card programs for other banks, brokerages etc. When Bank of America bought MBNA some of the card business moved away from FIA because Bank of America is a competitor.
