Question
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

The Starwood Amex is the one I would go with. There is no limit to the number of points you can earn and the points can be redeemed for hotel stays or transferred to most major airlines for flights. It would be easy to track how many points you guys have and split them up 3 ways. As far as only having a $100,000 limit, that shouldn't be too big of a problem. You can make payments mid cycle if needed.
Answer
none of them have limits, thats the whole point :P
Answer
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?
