Any current cards with multiple for Business Services?
Apartment complex recently started taking cards so I did a test with my AmEx and it's coding as Business Services. Spent some time with Google trying searches to come up with cards that offer a multiple for business services, but that's a tough phrase to weed through. Is there any known card that's currently available that offers a decent multiple for this general category, or a site that lists what cards are best used for which categories? I'd need to hit a value of about $0.028/point for it to be worth the fees, so I assume it will be rough.

See if they'll do a test payment on MC/Visa - might code up differently on those.
Citi has an oddball card - Citi Biz TYP card which I thought had professional/biz services as a bonus category for 1 quarter each year.
Rarely see that card since its only an in branch offer.
You could look it up and see if that might be possible, for at least a few months.

I'm willing to make a payment on a couple different ones if it's for the better good, worst case it was a waste of $10-$20. Do all the major cards typically show what it was coded as?
I'm actually sort of curious about the changes being made to the Starbucks card since it says utilities are $2/star after they make their changes in April/May/whatever. With a $1000 rent payment that's four free drinks, and my typical drinks are $8.75, so it's not much profit ($35 benefit minus a $26 fee) but it's something.
