RateBuddy Verdict
The Good
- Uniquely features a low 14.99% standard purchase interest rate, providing a great safety net for businesses managing cash flow.
- The free first checked bag perk covers the primary cardholder and up to 8 travel companions on Air Canada, perfect for group business trips.
- Allows businesses to earn up to 4 Maple Leaf Lounge passes annually simply by running their standard business spending through the card.
The Trade-offs
- To unlock the full 60,000-point welcome bonus, your business must be able to spend $25,000 on the card within the first 12 months.
- Unlike premium personal cards, it does not include built-in airport lounge access on day one; the passes must be earned via spending.
- While it offers 1.5x points on Electric Vehicle charging, standard gas station purchases only earn the base 1 point per dollar.
