These are the equivalent of petty cash for businesses, but are much more efficient and easier to manage. The business provides some or all of its employees with one of these cards, and they can set the credit limit for each card, which is how much they are entitled to spend.
The business can keep track of what is spent on each card to make sure that it is always for business matters. These cards are a great way of giving employees the opportunity to charge for business purposes, without having to give them money beforehand. Many of the cards offer business related incentives, such as discounts on business related companies, the opportunity to accumulate airmiles collectively for the company, and free travel insurance for all cardholders.
