    The Bank of America Business Advantage Unlimited Cash Rewards credit card is an excellent business credit card for small businesses. While it doesn’t have high rewards rates in select categories, what it does offer is massive simplicity. It earns 1.5% cash back on all purchases with no limit and no annual fee. For some business owners, that alone is the biggest benefit as there isn’t much to manage.
    While the public offer at the moment is to earn a $300 statement credit after spending $3K in the first 3 months, I received a targeted offer by mail for a $500 statement credit after spending $5K in the first 3 months.
    Since it was expiring on April 28, 2023, and since I had taxes to pay, I decided to apply to see if I could get approved!
    Here are my main reasons for applying…
    1. The $500 welcome offer is great, especially for a credit card with no annual fee. I view it as getting $500 off my taxes.
    2. No annual fee. Should I decide to keep this credit card long term, it won’t cost me anything.
    3. It’s a Bank of America business credit card, and those are known to NOT report to your personal credit report. This means it won’t have any effect on my credit score (except for the initial hard inquiry, which may drop my credit score by a few points, but only temporarily). For this reason, it also doesn’t affect the Chase 5/24 rule and I won’t have to be concerned about high credit card utilization dropping my score.
    4. I want to build credit history for my business / LLC.

    Congrats on another new card Mark! Although paying taxes at the end of the year kinda sucks, it's nice to be able to get a new card out of it.
    Question for y'all: Do their business cards get any boost if you're a part of their tier system (i.e. Platinum Honors, etc.)?

    • @TheCreditFrog
      @TheCreditFrog Рік тому +8

      Sadly, personal and business are separate. So if you're PH on the personal side, this doesn't count for business. You need to have assets in your business accounts and there is an identical but separate program called Preferred Rewards for Business 😐

    It automatically filled in your SSN that means it’s not really business credit. It’s great to have a relationship with the bank but using your SSN is a personal guarantee and not separate from your business credit/EIN. This will result in a hard pull on your personal credit.

    • @MarkReese
      @MarkReese  Рік тому +5

      Of course. Nearly all small business cards by the major banks I can think of require a personal guarantee. Even if entering an EIN, the SSN is often required as well, and a hard pull is still done. Not many cards have EIN-only option.

      This one is an example of that.
      Both the BoA Business Advantage Unlimited + BoA Business Advantage Customized Cash have public offers of a $300 statement credit + 0% APR on purchases for 9 months.
      The Chase Ink Business Cash + Chase Ink Unlimited cards are even better at $750 cash back + 0% APR on purchases for 12 months.

    • @MarkReese

      If you're asking about buying a day pass, Delta no longer sells those. (Exception = if you have the Delta SkyMiles Platinum card, which allows you to buy a pass for $50 and I think it needs to be charged to the card).
      If you're asking about applying it towards an annual membership, I'm not sure.
