Corporate cards (Ramp, Brex, etc.) are charge cards - paid in full every cycle, underwritten on your bank balance rather than your personal credit, no personal guarantee, and bundled with expense software. Business credit cards (Chase, Amex, Capital One) let you carry a balance, underwrite on your personal credit with a personal guarantee, and have far better rewards. Here's how I'd rank them.\n\n**If you want a true corporate card + spend management:**\n\n1. **Ramp** - my default recommendation. Free, no annual fee, flat 1.5% cash back on everything, unlimited physical and virtual cards, per-card limits, and genuinely good receipt/accounting automation. The catch is real: you generally need to be an LLC/corp/LP maintaining ~$25,000 in a U.S. business bank account, sole props are ineligible, and dropping below that balance risks suspension. It's also US-only cards and you can't carry a balance.
