Since you mentioned consulting I thought I'd chime in. As a rule, we
avoid purchasing anything for our clients. We will spec and do the
ordering, but avoid paying the bills. I'd rather just have the overhead
of labor to worry about and not having to pay interest on CC debt while
I wait for clients to pay me.
For most clients of any size we usually setup accounts with CDW for them
and they can setup terms or have a CC at CDW. Makes things simple and
allows us to research past purchases, invoices etc. Tiny clients I just
use new egg usually. Saves them sales tax.

I seem to remember a while back a discussion on online purchasing and
use of prepaid cards for that purpose. Are any of you doing that or
do you use a regular credit card attached to your PII? I am just now
starting to do online purchasing for my consulting and really do not
like the idea of having my cc #, name and address stolen by hackers
because some online company was a little forgetful or not following
best practices. FYI I don't do online banking at all and unless I end
up being forced to do so don't plan to change that.
If you are using a prepaid card which company do you use? Visa,
MasterCard, Amex, Discover, or some other?
Thanks a lot for your opinion on this,
Jon Harris
