Ok, i need a business CC just for regular business expense but i need some recommendations on which ones to use. Any recommendations?

Also, from my understanding, business CC's are different from regular CC's because they offer semi annual and annualized reports on spending while categorizing them?

Or is there more to it than i see?

Well, I have an ordinary MasterCard and they give me an annual report.

Try MBNA.

One difference is that the business cards dont have the same consumer protection (fraud, perks, etc) as consumer cards.

Another is the perks...

life insurance, travel insurance, auto rental insurance, etc.

my Citi Mastercard has an Annual Report, my Chase one doesn't however.
and I *think* the Amex Blue has one too. but the Citi one looks very well organized.

We'll see. I just got AMEX this year.

Truthfully, the annual report is not important to me.

Probably not. Since I also have a M/C, it is not important.
