Overview
In the last few years, smaller companies with smaller programs working with regional and second tier commercial card issuers began a resurgence of offering and adopting corporate card with reward programs. Mercator Advisory Group's newest research note, Middle Market Creates a Renaissance for Commercial Card Rewards, examines how in a competitive commercial card landscape, offering corporate card with a reward program provides a point of differentiation as well as a means for issuers to reward their smaller spending clients.
Smaller companies with smaller programs are mostly shut out from rebate eligibility by the bigger issuers, according to this research from Mercator Advisory Group’s Commercial and Enterprise Payments Advisory Service.
