Top Five Advanta Credit Cards
Unlike most credit card issuers, Advanta only
offers credit cards to corporations and small business owners. Of course, a
qualifying process is used that is different from what other issuers use when
issuing cards to individual consumers. In addition, Advanta also provides
additional financial services to both business professionals and small business
owners.
Advanta Business Rewards Platinum
The
most popular card that Advanta offers is the Advanta
Business Rewards Platinum Card. The interest rate on both purchases and cash
advances is a low 7.99% fixed rate. For the first sixteen billing cycles,
however, there is a 0% interest rate on balance transfers. The card has no
annual fee and offers either 5% cash back or travel rewards. The 5% cash back
for business purchases includes any purchases that are made on employee cards.
In addition, the card offers a business credit line of up to $50,000 with a
choice of business design that is customized with your business name.
For business owners, a great advantage to this card is your ability to
choose your payment due date. Once the card arrives in the mail, all you need to
do is call the toll free number that is provided with it and select the week you
want your payment to become due. In addition, these other services are offered
as well, includingl:
Free online bill payment
Statements and management reports are available online
Total online access that allows you to request credit line increases, add
cardholders, request balance transfers, and update account information
