Which card for my business
I have a medium size business and two partners. We have estimated we could put around $100,000 a month on credit cards and pay them off ever month to get the benefit of miles. Which card should I use? Also, how would we organize it so that we could all use the miles or would we just have to rotate which card is used to pay which bill?
Thanks in advance

amex business starwood card (most valuable points but only $100K limit)

diners club charge card / amex business gold or platinum

diners club / amex comparison
for starwood the cardholder would have to redeem points for others
for amex gold/plat any additional cardholder can be authorized to make membership reward airline transfers or other redemptions
for diners club, i dont know how it works

Is there a visa or mastercard with that the you would recommend......only ask because some of our vendors do not take AMEX? Also, If the card is in the business name....each of the partners can use the points or are the points specific to the individual?

starwood amex credit card with $100K limit, only primary cardholder can redeem starpoints and transfer to his frequent flyer programs. then he can book awards for other 2 partners.
american express business platinum charge card with OPEN savings, free business services, and membership rewards that allow ALL additional cardholders to be authorized to make membership reward transfers into their own frequent flyer programs
diners club MASTERCARD charge card. i do not know whether only primary can transfer, or whether all additional authorized cardholders can.
i personally plan on using all 3 cards when i start my own business.
