Credit Cards for Sales Reps?

ajtrader100

Hi all,

I am an area sales manager for a construction company, I stay away quite a bit and usually have lunch with clients on a few occasions. I have £1300 of previous debt on my Alliance and Leicester (MBNA) credit card but I also use this as my "expenses" credit card for work.

This changes a lot, like last week my expenses were £700, but other weeks it may be much smaller. I also have a £2200 debt with morgan and stanley on their fixed 5.9% card for the life of the balance - I never never use this card for purchases, just to ease my mounting debts after my wedding last year.

Could anyone help with a card, purely for my expenses (and that £1300) that will reward me more than my A&L card, I have a nectar card, tesco clubcard so if any pay points on these it would be good. I am mainly looking for the best card to suit my needs.

All your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

those sites really helped.

Are there any other sales professionals in the same boat as me?

No, have a corporate card for expenses which makes things much simpler esp when taking into consideration how long it can take to get our expenses back

I get a fuel card, but its just for hotels, wining and dining and other little bits'n'bobs.

I would love a corporate card, but im sure that someone must have taken the p!ss at some point as they no longer do it...... bummer.

Yes me, I am a Channel manager working from home for a large company, I use an Egg Money card as I get 1% of my spend as cashback, like you I pay for hotels and entertaining plus diesel which I claim backfrom the company usually monthly. I previously used my Tesco Mastercard because they offer extra clubcard points, I use their filling stations when I can.

I can have a corporate card but then I don't get the points and I could have a fuel card but the tax on it is far more per month than I ever pay in private mileage.

I'm a manager for a team of engineers & run up about £350 a week in expenses
I also use the Egg Money account & keep it purely for work.

So is egg the best? Seems like most people agree on this one
