Hey folks, I need a new Corprate credit card, so I'm on the hunt.  Our company uses Amex, but that sucks and I wound up with a lot of fraudulent charges that they couldn't stop unless I cancelled the card.  Easy enough.  Part of my job is specifying and purchasing a lot of electronics equipment.  Lots of credit card charges.  A few of the folks here use a GM card or equavalent.  Which one is best, and gives you the most for your purchases?  Which bank provides the best and safest services with the card?

I'm aware that some cards now put miles in your Frequent Flyer program.  Is the milage rate decent, or just a pittance?  Who should I go with if I go that route?

Thaks guys!

got a gm card- be carful- they say you can get up to 5000 bucks rebate on a vehicle-WRONG  you can get 5000 built up on your card, but you only can use 1500 bucks against a NEW gm vehicle (max).

I had an American Airlines card. Every $20,000 on the card gave you a free domestic flight. I dropped the card because it was a Citibank card, and they were giving gun dealers a ration of shit. My card is now the NRA card, with the LEAA card as my backup.

Get a cash back card.

I chose Shell, pay it off, and get about $50 cash a month.

If you're looking for a card thats fixed 8.9% for purchases and cash. Doesn't give your name to telemarketers. I'd go with The Capital One no hassle card. I've had good luck with them. Since I dropped my other cards I can't remember the last telemarketer call.
I use 2 of these same cards for my business.

I HAD one. No complaints. Their billing was accurate, but they only give you less than 30 of days grace. You could get a full 30 days if you look around. Also check out the late charges. I hadn't used mine for a while, and they cancelled the account. No big loss.

AMEX sucks big time! I'm paying them off, then telling them to F*#K off. They do not value there customers and there customer service is a joke.

Guess it depends on what you need.
I still recommend umbrella.

GM cancelled my card because I didn`t use it. No great loss. I`ve always had good luck with Amex. Soory to hear others haven`t.

I really think we need to start either an AR-15.com, or a Black Rifle credit card. I think it would be a great way to support the site.
