One of the questions I often get from TFC readers is, "Matteo but how do you pay your bills and accumulate points?" Whether you are a sole proprietor, a partner in an LLC or a VAT number holder in general, Having a corporate card allows you to accumulate thousands of free points each year.

If the the first card to have in the company is no ifs and buts American Express, preferably platinum, there are many expenditures that even if made with Amex do not generate points and then here is the need to have a backup card to use on all these occasions.

Five reasons why to use Mooncard

As always, it is a subjective matter, Mooncard is, like many of its competitors, a company that offers business expense management software, not an actual bank.

1. If you give cards to employees these allow you to Concentrate Flying Blue point accumulation only on the corporate owner's account, in this way all expenditures will generate points on a single card
2. With the premium card, it is can accumulate 1.5 FB points every euro spent with the card, for any transaction. From gasoline to fines, from suppliers to the Post Office, no one excluded
3. Unlike American Express Mooncard is accepted everywhere being a payment card of the Visa circuit
4. Personalized assistance, one of the features of Mooncard customer service is that. assistance is truly personalized
5. No need to have an "active" company for 12 or 24 months as required by American Express. If your VAT number is young, you do not have the option of activating an Amex, and then Mooncard remains the only alternative for those who want to start turning bills into points.

Mooncard is not suitable for everyone, but may be perfect for those who primarily target FB as a frequent flyer program and no other means of payment in the world allows for similar conversion in terms of point accumulation.

Mooncard and additional features

As mentioned, we are not talking about a means of payment, but of a package that includes a software (the thing you pay for) of the cards and related benefits. I write this because in recent months I have often been contacted by readers who after reading some content about Mooncard have written to me complaining about this or that point, about this or that service. Sometimes comparing Mooncard to an American Express Platinum.

This comparison should not be made. Currently the product must be taken only and only if you want to get two and a half times the points you get with an American Express not forgetting that you accumulate points with EVERY transaction, none excluded.

You have to do a cost/benefit calculation on this. Because if you think Mooncard's priority pass is the same as Platinum's, you are wrong. The same goes for travel insurance, while the annual coverage on electronic devices is attractive precisely because tablets and business phones can break down and thus it is useful to have coverage for accidental damage.

In conclusion

I have been a happy customer for two years. Of course, I could be much happier if the software, which is the strength of this product, was 100% optimized for the Italian market, but in the meantime I'll take the points and say thank you and at the end of the year when I pull the sum between how much I spent on this card and how much it saved me in travel, I am absolutely in the positive. And that's what matters to me.
