Get Credit For What You Do

I saw a commercial last night that made me laugh. Then I got to thinking about how it really does tie in with all that I do. The commercial was this guy booking a flight on a plane for a business trip, then he hands over a credit card to pay for it with little kitties on it. The attendant looks over at him and says ‘and you said this was a business trip?’

I don’t suppose I would have really thought about it before. The kinds of business I have are small, self run, but even the farm has expenses as we all know too well, that sometimes require a little ‘help’. Last year I got a credit card that is strictly business. It has the farm name on the front, and isn’t a ‘cutsey’ card with kitties on it either.

It may, or may not make a difference to a cashier, or other recipient, but it DOES help me keep my expenses for the farm when its used in its proper place for taxes and records. It helps a lot that it’s a low interest credit card. I really suggest anyone looks into a ‘dedicated’ business credit card for their farm. It has come in really handy in many circumstances. Make sure you do your homework though and get the best deal for what you pay for. There are a lot of ways online to investigate what’s available.

Check out the Credit Card Club to see what they offer in business cards, travel and gas reward cards and much more. Come to think of it, I sure could use the gas rewards type cards now. Going to shows is a real cash drain with gas prices the way they are today.
