The Chase Platinum Business Card and the Chase Business Rebate Card are now available, giving business people more options and a better deal than what they can get through ordinary business cards. Are these cards worth getting? More importantly, do they offer to your business a reason to switch? Let’s examine the new cards and what they have to offer to you, the business person.

To help busy card holders, Chase two new cards share a common feature: they offer quarterly management reports for free.

As much as the two new cards have similarities to them, they each have a distinguishing feature. With the Chase Platinum Business Card you get additional benefits including travel insurance, lost luggage insurance, and more.

For all other purchases the rewards rate is 1%. Of course, the biggest decision for you is which card to select. Both cards come equipped with many useful features and are certain to attract customers who need a business card that works so well for them.
