Best Rewards Card for extremely high monthly utilization? ($75-125k)

Hey guys,
I am looking to see if there is a better rewards credit card//charge card out there than what I am currently using.

Currently using-- Chase Ink Bold charge card
Current rewards rate-- 1.2% (1% plus .2% for linking a business checking account)
Paid off in full each month so interest rates don't matter.
Current usage-- Between $75,000 and $125,000 each month

So far I have been very satisfied with the Chase Ink Bold, but seeing as I put over a million dollars on my credit card a year, it's worth trying to find the best card.

Any input is appreciated, thanks!

I'm sure someone else would think to point this out, but I'll be the first one to do so:

Slickdealer + six figure spending on CC = awesome irony.

Just giving you a hard time though Smilie

-- I'm sure it's company spending, etc. I have no idea what it's like to spend that much monthly so I can't give you any legitimate suggestions, but I know that the Amex Black Card requires about $250K monthly spending lol

General Cashback, the Capital One Spark is not bad from what I've read., with 2% cashback on all purchases: http://www.capitalone.com/busines...h-rewards/ Otherwise, Chase Ink Bold is a pretty good card if you spend tons on office supplies. What I would suggest though, is to categorize your expenses and use different cards for different categories.

If you love to travel, the Starwood Amex is good. I put about 30k/month on mine and earn enough points a year to spend two weeks in Italy at five star resorts.

Thanks for the input, guys. The problem with AMEX is that about half of my distributors ONLY take MasterCard or Visa, so AMEX and Discover are basically out of the equation.
I'll definitely look into the Capital One Spark; the only problem is that it'll come with a limit unlike a charge-card.

As for the Palladium card by JPM, all-in-all it looks like the standard "1% cash-back" with a ton of travel rewards, but I do not travel often.

Cycle through the cards with 5% cash back for 6 months.

Yep. I also do a fair amount of spending (nowhere close to the OP though LOL). I was using Amex blue cash, and Fidelity Visa Signature. Now I'm dumping the blue cash card after they downgraded the non-5% cashback categories to 1%, and getting the Fidelity Amex.

The OP would get 2% flat CB from using both Fidelity Visa and Fidelity Amex cards (although the Visa is only 1.5% for the first $15K). That would be the easiest route for maximizing CB.

Only hurdle is that you need a fidelity brokerage account for the CB to deposit in every month. A nice advantage because most cards make you wait for CB until you request it.
