Business Rewards from Chase

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

In July, Chase announced their new GM Business and Continental Airlines Business cards.  These two rewards cards are great tools for any business—they make your business expenses really count! 

The GM Business Card from Chase not only gives you an introductory 0% APR for up to 12 months, but it also helps you to purchase your next GM vehicle.  You will earn 3% on business expenses such as fuel purchases, restaurants, office supply stores, and you will earn 1% on all other purchases.  Plus, you can get free cards for your employees, which could increase your earnings significantly.  Click here for further details.

The Continental Airlines Business MasterCard® from Chase, as the name suggests, helps you earn travel rewards from Continental Airlines.  You will earn 15,000 Bonus Miles after your first purchase, double miles at participating restaurants, and one mile per dollar on other purchases.  The introductory APR is a fixed 7.99% for 6 months on both purchases and balance transfers.  Click here for more information.
