There are 2 ways to participate in this promotion, outlined by options 1 and 2 below.
Applying for a business card is easy, anyone can own a sole-proprietorship and create a business called “John Doe’s Ebay Sales,” On the application form just fill out your desired business name and leave the optional federal tax id field blank, and you’re good to go.
Best of all business cards don’t affect your personal credit score, so you won’t take any hit when you open or close the card, and you won’t lose points on your credit score even if you use a high percentage of your total credit line on a business card.
You must use the links below to get to each credit card in order to participate in the promo.
