Business Priority Club (8/3/99)
FULL STORY:
The first business credit card offered by a hotel rewards program hit the
scene this week. The 'Priority Club Worldwide Business VISA', offered by Bass Hotels
& Resorts and First USA, allows each company employee cardholder to earn
points for free hotel nights, frequent flyer miles, merchandise and shopping rewards.
The new card program also offers small business owners the opportunity to
harness the financial leverage of quarterly management reports, consolidated
billing statements to track company cardholders' spending, and discounts on
business products and services. Bass owns Inter-Continental, Crowne Plaza,
Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express and Staybridge Suites by Holiday Inn.
Cardholders receive one 'Priority Club' point for every U.S. dollar spent on
purchases and an additional 5,000 bonus points with their first purchase or
balance transfer. The no-annual-fee card carries a 3.9% fixed APR on purchases
and balance transfers for the first five months, followed by a fixed 9.99%
annual percentage rate. The card also features a credit line up to $35,000.
