Clark Howard commented recently that a lot of Business Credit Cards don’t carry the fraud protection that personal credit cards do. Read that fine print!!

I don’t know how many Discover cards you have already or whether Business card is different from regular personal cards, but last time when I tried to get my third Discover card, I only got $250 credit limit! The reason, according to the CSR, was the maximum number of Discover cards I can have is 3 with combined limit no more than $15000 (?) and since I already have two with $14000+ limit, they can only give me the difference of $250 for the new card, unless I close one of them. I eventually closed the second old card and transfer the credit limit to the new card.

There’s some new business card from Amex called SimpleCash that also looks pretty appealing, but in a different way. 5% back on lots of things, 1% back on the rest, plus other perks. Don’t think my site yet qualifies as a “business” though, unfortunately

When I signed up for Citi Professional Card…I faintly remember reading something about different set of “rights” than a personal card….something to that effect. There might be something similar for your Discover.

So check your card’s fine print in that department.
