RateBuddy Verdict
The Good
- Includes a unique 2% cash back category for business essentials like Shipping and Insurance services.
- No annual fee for the primary cardholder and up to 9 authorized users, making it highly scalable for small teams.
- Strong 3% earn rate on restaurants and Costco gas helps offset common business travel and dining expenses.
The Trade-offs
- Rewards are only accessible once a year in January via a Costco gift certificate, which may impact business cash flow flexibility.
- Requires a Costco membership to apply, which carries its own separate annual cost.
- Lacks essential travel medical and car rental insurance coverage, despite being a business-oriented card.
