Best Credit Card for the industry?

I think two cards are necessary because the best business card is AMEX and not everyone takes it. AMEX is a company that truly gets your back when an issue comes up. The services are excellent for setting up travel and access on the road is fantastic. If you do the Platinum level there are a lot of nice perks. I like the emphasis on paying the card off every month. I believe the Platinum level gives reward points over airline points.

An airline-specific card is nice too. You should look at who you fly with most and if it is Delta (they're on AMEX) then choose the next one who has Visa or Mastercard. There are businesses that do not take AMEX and you will need something from one of those one day.

A dealer seeking credit card recommendations for business cash flow management receives advice to carry two cards: American Express Platinum as the primary card for superior customer service and travel perks, plus a Visa or Mastercard as backup since some businesses don't accept AMEX. The key insight is that with an excellent credit score (800), the focus should be on maximizing benefits and acceptance rather than interest rates, with the strategy of paying off balances monthly to avoid finance charges while earning rewards.
