This comment is so ironic. Love it.
For small businesses doing high reward credit cards is not a sustainable business. Which is why Brex is shutting them down.
I was just saying that for a VC-backed tech startup, the lack of rewards is a huge turn-off, compared to some of the other options for spending available to us.
If I want a high-reward card I’ll get an Amex Platinum (a credit/charge card) and stick with Mercury as my bank.
I would just prefer to have my banking and spending in 1 place, and if I did that with Mercury, I'd be sacrificing 1%+ rewards, which I would not consider a financially responsible option when Brex exists and has a good enough banking experience.
Wouldn't it be nicer for everybody if there were more options that had both a great banking experience and credit-level rewards that all competed for our business? That's all I was trying to encourage with my feedback, but the fanboyism in this thread has proved to be too strong for that message to get through.
I see your point, but I am not of that opinion.
Appreciate the feedback.
