Default I am going to spend $9000 for business travel (hotel/dining). Should I open a rewards credit card? Which one?

I am travelling internationally so I will want to pay attention to fees for international transactions.

I figure there is some card that is running a compelling promotion/bonus for signing up so I should look into a new rewards card for this business travel. I would need to apply for this card in the next few days so I receive it before I leave (April 23rd).

I have excellent credit and I already have Blue Cash by Amex, Points through Capital One, and Nordstrom Platinum Rewards. I just started a new reward year for Amex so I haven't spent the $6500 that is required to tier up to 1/5% rewards yet. The limits on the Capital One and Nordstrom are too low right now but I could call and have them raised if I don't go with a new card.

I want rewards for dining, and hotels mainly. I anticipate spending around $7K on hotels and $2500 on dining between now and July related to travel for business. Work is purchasing the flights directly.

Small or big, businesses of any type can benefit from the use of a business credit card. If you haven't considered getting one for your company, you might change your mind after reading about the various advantages of having one.

Benefits of Having a Business Credit Card

Accounting Made Easy – If you obtain a credit card for your company, you can use it to purchase and spend for all office necessities. Afterwards, you'll only have to refer to your credit card statement to know how much you've spent for the month. With a business credit card, there's no need to ruffle through various bills every time you need to check your company's balance.

Paper Trail – When you pay someone or for something with cash, there's a chance that you won't be issued a receipt because you received the goods by COD. Such a thing, however, can't happen when you're using a credit card because payment by credit card can't happen at any place that doesn't issue a receipt. As such, every cent spent for your business will be supported by documentary evidence.

Quick and Easy Delegation – If you assign your manager to handle the purchasing side of your business for this month, you can simply provide him with a supplementary or extension credit card to what you have and he'll quickly be able to complete the task at hand. Upon receiving instruction, your manager can immediately buy the things you've specified without having to withdraw money from the bank or wait for you to issue him a check.

Safer Purchases – There's every chance that your assistant can get robbed while he's on the way to your supplier's warehouse and when he has a lot of money with him for payment. There's little chance, however, for your company to suffer from financial setback if you're using a business credit card, and especially if it has a photo printed on its surface. get a best business reward card at: http://www.credit-card-gallery.com/Business_Rewards.html

I would definitely get a rewards type of credit card and if you are purchasing the plane tickets yourself I would advise one that earns you miles to save on future trips. Before you do this though.....you should also compare the rewards and see whether it is worth it to add a new card to the amount you have now rather than just raising you limit as you said. If you have cards now that offer great rewards than I would just stick with those and try to get the limit increased.

Also, if you are looking for rewards on hotels and I notice you will travel a lot, I would like to recommend a business where you can earn commissions on travel including planes, hotels, tickets, cruises, cars, and more. You can also get great tax breaks at the end of the year. You can review the presentation site, where unlike most other sites, you can learn as much as you can about this opportunity and talk to a real person if you have any other questions. With this, you can save money AND earn rewards!
