In-Depth Credit Card Review |
This online card application is intended for residents of the United States only. For other country options, please refer to the right hand menu bar.
The Advanta Platinum BusinessCard, issued by Advanta, is designed for business owners who are looking to consolidate business expenses onto one credit card account.
The card has no annual fee and an attractive 0% introductory rate on purchases and balance transfers for the first twelve months. After the introductory rate expires, the APR for purchases and balance transfers is reasonable.
It is important to note that the APRs for all transactions may be tied to the highest Prime Rate during a 90-day period. Since the issuer selects the rate from any day within that time frame, the APRs may never reach the lowest possible rate due to this policy.
Many common platinum business features can be found with this card, including auto rental insurance, extended warranty coverage, itemized expense reports, and online account access. Cardholders are also offered discounts on various products and services from participating retailers and merchants.
Therefore, individuals who may occasionally carry a balance and plan to take advantage of the additional benefits and services (especially the retailer and merchant discounts) will benefit most from what the Advanta Platinum BusinessCard has to offer.
Most Attractive Feature: No annual fee; discounts on various products and services.
Least Attractive Feature: APRs based on the highest Prime Rate during a 90-day period.
