So I'm interested in the 5% rebate on phone bills, utilities, etc. this card offers. problem is I don't own a business. I know there has been discussions about this card so I apologize for the repeat. Anyway, I have aspirations to own a business with my brother some day but that is a few years off til we're both done with school.

I know they ask for your personal info on the application for this card but do they have a way to see whether you are a business owner or not or do they really care? Is there anything in the card agreement about not using the card for personal purchases? I confess I'm ignorant to the world of business credit.

I'd love a card with extra rewards on those kinds of purchases. If anyone knows of another card that pays extra for utilities etc I'd also be interested to know about it.

Business card applications typically have clauses where you agree to only use the card for business purposes.

And by the way, read the consumer reviews on this site for the Advanta cards - I saw a bunch of negative comments a while back. You might want to go with Citi, Chase, or Amex instead.

I haven't had a problem with Advanta...yet. However, we are able to pay our house bills with the card because we are currently working out of the house. Advanta considers that to be business related I guess. The businesses are secondary income, I am a teacher so that's my first income.
