Thx for posting! I can't wait for those 15k points myself!

Canadian Rewards Creditcard for Business
 

Anybody know of any good reward based credit cards for businesses? My preferred card is the MBNA MasterCard with Alaska, but to my knowledge, they don't offer anything like this for businesses. Suggestions appreciated.

And mine (and Mr. Fink's) alas, have not. :td:
I shall be calling Chase on Tuesday...

For whatever reason, even though it's dated for April 16, it shows up on my March statement between my March 1 stay and March 18 Chase visa posting

I haven't actually looked at our statements, just logged into our Marriott accounts and the points balance hasn't changed. I want to book a stay for the beginning of May and was hoping they would have shown up by now.

Oh, best of luck! I actually received a postcard from them with the fifteen thousand advertised so I was pretty ready to fight them on it

Consider the Amex Business Gold Rewards Card. I have also had the Amex SPG Business card, but the bonus offer for it right now is not so hot.

All the other cards that I use for business expenses are consumer cards, and then my employer just pays my credit card bill. Not sure if that'll work in your situation.

Definitely check out the MilesBuzz! Canada forum for more ideas.

Just an FYI for anyone whose 15k AU bonus points have not posted, I called Chase today. The rep verified that both Mr. Fink and I added the AU in December and each made a purchase on the AU's card in January so we both definitely qualified for the bonus. She said the list of qualified recipients was sent to Marriott Rewards on April 16 for Marriott to credit the 15k and we were both on it. She can't see why we didn't receive the credit and is sending a 'nudge' to Marriott so that the points can be added on our next statement closing in mid-May. :(:td: I had wanted to make a booking for May 1 using some of these points. I called Marriott and they said they would put in a request to see if they could add the points this week but no guarantees.

So if you didn't get the bonus applied on April 16-18, give Chase a call as you were likely missed, as we were.

Experienced exactly the same - pretty much the same script was read to me. I have no idea how Chase operates in the US, but in my contact with them over the past two years, the Canadian operation doesn't seem very polished.

Anyway, they said wait two weeks and see what happens. Guess I can't do anything but wait then.

Yep, same here, waiting. Although Chase told me it wouldn't happen until the May 15 statement.

I have 3 US Chase cards as well as this one Canadian card and what a difference in service. Chase US is so professional and customer-focused, from matching new bonus offers for existing cards to one rep who went so far above and beyond for me that I wrote in to his supervisor about the exemplary service. Not to say the Canadian rep today wasn't friendly, just no real attempt to solve this for me now even though it is clearly their mistake and after I said I had been waiting 4 months and had planned to use the points before May 15.

Amex Biz card is now $250/yr, 25K bonus for $5K spend. Was free before for $3K spend. They have a program where 3 suppliers get you 2X the MR miles. I use Canadian Linen, 407ETR, and Petro Canada. There wasn't much else to choose from, it's a crappy list. But it all depends on who you use. I can see some mid-size companies with large linen bills from Canadian Linen making out large. We spend ~$450/month for 3 employees.

Won't renew the card.

As has been said the SPG bonus was gutted.

The CIBC Aeroplan Biz card $180/yr, 15K Aeroplan miles (not sure on spend- if there is one)

And to be completely honest, if you are small enough, personal card, biz card...whats the difference? I get a laugh when the CFIB (I'm a member btw) does this yearly media blitz on merchant fees. Small biz owners might pay those fees but they are the biggest USERS of credit cards out there. It's a big circle j**k, I guess someone loses somewhere if one takes a look at the earnings of visa, mc and Amex. Let alone Chase and all the other merchant processors. We come out ahead.

Have you looked into the RBC business platinum avion card?

(I got a what appears to be targeted promo with FYF & 40k points welcome bonus.)

Wow, that's crazy. What did your letter say/was there an application link?

The link seems to be the standard link.

I have until May 15 to accept the offer.
(decided to accept the offer since no credit pull ... :) )
The fine print says welcome bonus of 20k upon acceptance, then another 20k at renewal.

Even though first year is free, renewal will cost $50 if also hold the personal avion card. $120 otherwise.

right, you're preapproved then, and no applying (hence why no special link). Damn!
