4 Small Business Rewards Credit Cards With No Annual Fees

[UPDATE: Some offers mentioned below have expired and/or are no longer available on our site. You can view the current offers from our partners in our credit card marketplace. DISCLOSURE: Cards from our partners are mentioned below.]

In honor of National Small Business Week, I’ve selected four business credit cards that offer some really good rewards. And since these cards don’t have annual fees, you get to keep all the rewards you earn. Now, that’s a pretty sweet deal.

Just a quick reminder before we dive in: Business credit cards are not covered by the Credit CARD Act of 2009, which prevents sudden rate increases among other needed consumer protections. So just be careful. Try not to carry a balance and pay attention to any mail you receive from your issuer.

Okay, so here we go. Here are some business cards that help you save money on businesses expenses:

Ink Cash Business Card

Chase has several cards with the Ink brand. They’re all pretty good cards but I like the cash rewards and low APR associated with this one. After your first purchase, you get $100 cash back. Spend $5,000 within the first three months and you get an additional $150 cash back bonus. So you can earn up to a $250 cash back bonus. Not bad, huh?

The rewards program is generous, but it’s tiered. You get 5 percent cash back on the first $25,000 spent annually at office supply stores and on cellular phone, landline, Internet, and cable TV services. You get 2 percent cash back on the first $25,000 spent annually at gas stations and restaurants. And you get 1 percent cash back on all other purchases.

Other perks: Free employee cards and access to excellent management reporting tools.
