The Discover® Business Card is a card that is designed for
those looking for a business card with a little something extra. In
this case, that little something extra includes a $100 Cashback
Bonus®.**
This business card has a rewards program
where account holders can earn a full 5% on the first $2,000 in
office supply purchases, a full 2% on the first $2,000 in gas
purchases, up to 1% for other purchases, and .25% for purchases
made at select warehouse clubs and discount
stores.
Account holders who spend up to $5,000 on other
purchases, will receive a .25% rebate. Those who spend over $5,000
will receive a 1% rebate.* Both office supply and gas purchases in
excess of $2,000 earn a rebate at the same rate as other
purchases.
As an added bonus, account holders can earn
up to a double Cashback Bonus® when their rebates are redeemed
as gift certificates from participating Discover® Card
Partners. There is no yearly limit on the amount of rebates that
can be earned and rebates do not expire as long as the account is
active within a 36-month period.
The Discover®
Business Card has no annual fee and has an attractive 0%
introductory rate on purchases for the first twelve months and a
3.9% introductory rate on balance transfers for the first six
months. The APR for this card is above average.
In
addition to the reward program, this card also provides several
platinum benefits including fraud and security protection services
as well as access to PurchaseChecks. Account holders can also
receive discounts on products and services at participating
merchants and retailers.
For account holders who plan on
spending more than $5,000 a year and who plan on taking advantage
of the Cashback Bonus® program, the Discover® Business Card
will be a great fit.
*It is important to note that like
many cash reward cards, the highest rebate offered will not apply
to all purchases made with the credit card. In this case, 1% will
only be applied only to those purchases made after the cardholder
spends over $5,000 in one year, so the overall cash rebate earned
will be less than 1%, depending on the amount spent. For instance,
if the cardholder were to spend $6,000, only $1,000 of this amount
would be applied towards the 1% rebate. However, this does not take
into account any promotional offers or the full 5% Cashback
Bonus® award.
