Business credit cards allow you to separate your small business expenses from your personal expenses, and they very often have business-specific rewards that are different from personal credit cards. Note, however, that unless your business is well established, getting approved for a business credit card will usually require you to make a personal guarantee. What does that mean? If you fail to pay your card bills, you will hurt your personal credit score.

That said, here are our picks for the best business credits on the market today:

• SimplyCash Plus Business Credit Card from American Express – Earn a 5% rebate on all purchases from U.S. office supply stores and on wireless telephone services purchased directly from U.S. service providers. You also get to choose a 3% rebate category from a list that includes airfare, hotel, car rentals, gas, restaurants, advertising, etc. Finally, you get 1% cash back on all other card purchases. No annual fee.
• Ink Business Cash from Chase – Earn 5% cash back on the first $25,000 spent in combined purchases at office supply stores and on Internet, cable and phone services each year.

What movies make you want to get out there and make something happen? We’re not just talking about great stories of overcoming long odds, but instead movies that make YOU want to do something NOW! Below we offer our list of the 7 best motivational movies of all time:

Rocky – There’s a reason people are still running up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, pretending to be Rocky 40+ years later. Even if you hate boxing, the idea of working your butt off to contend on a level where no one believes you have a chance is super motivating. When you are done with Rocky, you are ready to get outside and start being GREAT.

The Shawshank Redemption – Even when you are literally trapped, never stop looking for a way out. Tim Robbins stars as a man sent to jail for a crime he didn’t commit, who then becomes rather valuable to a corrupt warden. Morgan Freeman is Robbins’ jailhouse friend (and movie narrator) in a memorable role.

This is the cut-to-the-chase list of our Top 10 credit cards (actually 16, oops), based on overall quality, which could mean any combination of rewards, low interest rates, or other features that we choose. Which is the best credit card? We’ll give you our #1 choice, but you’ll be proud to go into financial battle with any of the others, too:

#1 PayPal Cashback Mastercard – You get 2% cash back on every purchase with this card, which is accepted anywhere that takes Mastercard, both online and offline. Your cash rebates are deposited straight to your PayPal account (you’ll need to establish a PayPal account if you don’t already have one), where you can use that cash toward online purchases or have it moved to your bank account. No annual fee and a generous, easy-to-understand rebate formula puts this newer credit card right up at the top as the everyday cash-back choice in today’s market.

#2 Citi Double Cash Card – Citi unnecessarily complicates this offer, which fools some into not realizing how good it is. Bottom line: You get 2% cash back on all your purchases, provided you eventually pay them off. What that means: You get 1% cash back on the purchase as soon as you make it, then you get 1% cash back on your card balance payments. 1% + 1% = 2%. No annual fee.
