Verdict:  SimplyCash offers 5% back on office supplies and wireless services, and 3% back on gas (as long as you spend less than $12,000 on gas), making it one of the best business cards out there.  No other card as of the date of this writing offers such a high percentage back on office supplies and wireless service.  However, you may want to find a different credit card for your other business expenses (such as travel, restaurants) due to the mere 1% offered.  For those expenses, we recommend looking into Chase’s Ink Cash Business (3% for dining/gas) or Costco Business Card (4% for gas under $6,000, 3% for Restaurants, 2% for travel) for for very good overall rewards.

APR: There is a great 0% APR for the first 12 months if you’re carrying a balance.  However, if you want a lower overall APR, you might want to check out AmEx’s Blue.

    I was very excited when this card came out a few years back. But today it is a dinosaur. Except for wireless, I hardly ever use it. The Costco Business card gives you a higher cash back percentage for gasoline, restaurants, travel, etc. I hope it gets a refresh in 2012.
