I just applied for two new credit cards, my first of 2015.
The two cards are both business cards, and they are both airline co-branded
products. Applying for a business card is very easy. You need a business name and
the type of business you own. You can use your own SSN for the credit card
application, and you can even list $0 revenue, as banks realize and understand that
many start-ups do not yet have revenue.
The first card I applied for is the United Explorer Business
card from Chase. I learned about this card thanks to Gary Leff’s blog View from
the Wing. This card will earn me 50KUnited Miles after spending $2K within the
first three months of opening the account. You can do a lot with 50K United
miles, including round trip to Hawaii for 40K, or one-way to anywhere in the
world in coach where United or its Star Alliance partners fly, ranging from
17.5 K to 40K miles.
The second card I applied for is the CitiBusiness AAdvantage
Platinum Select World Mastercard. I learned about this card thanks to Ben
Schlappig’s blog One Mile at a Time. This card will also earn me 50K miles, for
my AAdvantage account. How about an off-peak round trip fare to Asia Zone 1,
which includes Japan, Korea and Mongolia? That’s 50K AAdvantage miles please.
Have you ever wanted to try Cathay Pacific’s business class product? You can do
that from JFK –Vancouver, round trip for 50K miles. That’s the same flight that
I will be taking this summer to Vancouver on my way to our summer Alaskan
cruise.

I have certainly slowed down my credit card applications the
past few months, but feel as though these two products are solid offers that I
would be happy with.
