Business Credit/Charge Card - Recommendations?

[roadsweeper]

I used to work for one of the large consultancies and got an AMEX card for company expenses. I managed to rack up 45,000 Virgin Air Miles on the card and they have been very useful.

I'm now a partner in a small consultancy and we currently use HSBC and their old-fashioned charge cards. They give us no access via the web and no benefits no matter how much we spend. So, I'm wondering what else is out there. Should we apply for an AMEX card again or are there better alternatives? (Something with air miles would be great! )

Thanks in advance,

roadie.

I have recently gone to Amex and all fine so far, building up some points steadily but our spend is not massive. Had a Business Card with Natwest before but was a bit rubbish - also was getting infuriated with them generally as a bank so moved everything from there in the end. When I initially signed up with NW my card showed up alongside my online business banking which was nice and easy, then they withdrew web access for the card altogether which struck me as very odd, they did re-introduce it again about 1yr later just before I left but it was under a different login system completely seperate from the online banking, the login procedure seemed extraordinarily complicated and also trying to export any statement data was tricky as you had to request it then login later to get it.... very clunky. Natwest did funnily enough do Airmiles which was quite handy, not that I ever really spent them anyway.

As I say all good so far with Amex, webaccess is good as is downloading statements to csv files. But can't say I have really tested them yet in any capacity. Only minor glitch so far has been finding one company (ebuyer I think it was) who don't accept Amex payments, I guess due to them being pricey for the retailer.

We use HSBC cards and have access to transactions etc online. Think this started over the last day or so.

I'm glad you said that because I noticed that today and thought I was going nutty!
