Business Card is a Common Economy Joker that can reward the player financially for playing face cards, with a 1 in 2 chance to earn $2 every time a face card is scored.

• Erratic Deck ( All [[Card Ranks|{{hl|orange|Ranks}}]] and [[Suits|{{hl|orange|Suits}}]] in deck are randomized Win a run with any [[Decks|deck]] on the {{Stake|Orange}} difficulty or harder Erratic Deck.png) can work really well with Business Card if the random nature of that deck allows you to start with a large number of face cards.

Business Card wants you to play many face cards all at once. Therefore, the best hands you could play with this are ones that have the most face cards in them (preferably 5). Full House is the easiest to access early on and can be fairly consistent. Later on in the game, Four of a Kind or Five of a Kind hands can give just as much of a chance for money but can often score higher as long as your Full House isn't upgraded as much. Later in the game you can also access Flush House and Flush Five for an even bigger increase in score.

• Pareidolia (All cards are considered {{hl|orange|face}} cards Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Pareidolia.png) enables Business Card to pay out on any played card.
• Oops! All 6s (Doubles all [[listed probabilities|{{hl|orange|listed}} {{hl|green|probabilities}}]] <br> {{hl|grey|(ex: {{hl|green|1 in 3}} -> {{hl|green|2 in 3}})}} In one hand, earn at least {{hl|orange|10,000}} chips Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Oops!_All_6s.png) guarantees payout from Business Card.
• Retrigger jokers that affect face cards, such as Sock and Buskin (Retrigger all played {{hl|orange|face}} cards Play a total of {{hl|orange|300}} face cards Uncommon Retrigger On Scored Sock and Buskin.png) or Seltzer (Retrigger all cards played for the next {{hl|orange|10}} hands Uncommon Retrigger On Scored Seltzer.png), allow Business Card to pay out more than once.
• Splash (Every {{hl|orange|played card}} counts in scoring Common Effect N/A (Passive) Splash.png) allows Business Card to affect all face cards played by making them all score.
• Midas Mask (All played {{hl|orange|face}} cards become [[Gold Cards|{{hl|orange|Gold}}]] cards when scored Uncommon Effect On Played Midas_Mask.png)'s ability turns all face cards gold, resulting in more income.
• Other jokers that increase the scoring of played face cards (e.g. Scary Face (Played {{hl|orange|face}} cards give {{Chips|+30}} when scored Common Chips On Scored Scary Face.png) for + Chips, Smiley Face (Played {{hl|orange|face}} cards give {{mult|+5}} when scored Common Additive Mult On Scored Smiley Face.png) for + Mult, and Triboulet (Played Kings and Queens each give {{xmult|2}} when scored Find this [[Jokers|Joker]] from the [[Spectral Cards|{{hl|sblue|Soul}}]] card. Legendary Multiplicative Mult On Scored Triboulet.png) for XMult) provide additional benefit when face cards are played.
• Reserved Parking (Each {{hl|orange|face}} card held in hand has a {{hl|green|1 in 2}} chance to give {{Money|1}} Common Economy On Held Reserved Parking.png) provides income on unplayed face cards, so having both this Joker and Business Card in a face card focused deck can provide a steady stream of money.

Adding more face cards to your deck can be helpful when using this joker. Therefore, cards like Cryptid (Create {{hl|orange|2}} copies of {{hl|orange|1}} selected card in your hand Available from start. Spectral Cryptid.png) or Death (Select {{hl|orange|2}} cards, convert the {{hl|orange|left}} card into the {{hl|orange|right}} card<br>{{hl|gray|(Drag to rearrange)}} Available from start. Tarot Death.png), can copy your face cards and their enhancements to make a much stronger and more consistent deck. Death (Select {{hl|orange|2}} cards, convert the {{hl|orange|left}} card into the {{hl|orange|right}} card<br>{{hl|gray|(Drag to rearrange)}} Available from start. Tarot Death.png) can also be used as a way to "remove" a non-face card by changing it into a face card. The Hanged Man (Destroys up to {{hl|orange|2}} selected cards Available from start. Tarot The Hanged Man.png) is also useful for removing any non-face cards from your deck and slimming your deck to make it more consistent. Familiar (Destroy {{hl|orange|1}} random card in your hand, add {{hl|orange|3}} random [[Card Modifiers#Enhancements|{{hl|orange|Enhanced}}]] [[Card Ranks#Face cards|{{hl|orange|face cards}}]] to your hand Available from start. Spectral Familiar.png) also works to add more enhanced face cards to your deck as well as potentially remove non-face cards. The best way to get new face cards from the shop is likely going to be through Standard Packs.

A Red Seal (Retrigger this card {{hl|orange|1}} time Red Seal.png) works quite well with Business Card as any face card with a red seal on it will trigger itself twice when played, enabling it to have another chance at triggering Business Card for more money.

• Abandoned Deck ( Start run with no {{F|}}[[Card Ranks#Face cards|{{hl|orange|Face Cards}}]] in your deck Win a run with the {{D|Green}} on [[Stakes|any difficulty]] Abandoned Deck.png) and Medusa ( ) start with no face cards, making Business Card pretty much useless unless the player has Pareidolia (All cards are considered {{hl|orange|face}} cards Uncommon Effect N/A (Passive) Pareidolia.png).

• Ride the Bus (This Joker gains {{Mult|+1}} per {{hl|orange|consecutive}} hand played without a scoring {{hl|orange|face}} card <br> {{Currently|{{Mult|+0}}}} Common Additive Mult Mixed Ride the Bus.png) requires face cards to not be played in order to grow its Mult bonus.
• Canio (This Joker gains {{xmult|1}} when a {{hl|orange|face}} card is destroyed <br> {{currently|{{xmult|1}}}} Find this [[Jokers|Joker]] from the [[Spectral Cards|{{hl|sblue|Soul}}]] card. Legendary Multiplicative Mult Mixed Canio.png)'s ability activates only upon destroying face cards, resulting in fewer cards able to trigger Business Card.

• The Mark ( Boss The Mark.png) draws all face cards face down, making it more difficult to assemble a good hand for Business Card.
• The Plant ( Boss The Plant.png) debuffs all face cards, rendering Business Card useless for the round.

• The Mad World ( ) challenge starts the player with an Eternal () copy of Business Card.

• Business cards often show the name, contact details, and other information of the person handing them out. They may even include imagery, watermarks or QR codes. In some industries, the quality and style of an individual's business card directly impact the perception of the said person among colleagues and peers, as can be seen in this (slightly exaggerated) scene from the film American Psycho.
• This Joker has a smaller width than standard Joker cards when face up. However, when it is flipped face-down, it uses the same standard size of card back as the rest. The other Joker with this similar property is Golden Ticket (Played [[Gold Cards|{{hl|orange|Gold}}]] cards earn {{Money|4}} when scored Play a 5 card hand that contains only {{hl|orange|Gold}} cards Common Economy On Scored Golden Ticket.png).
  • This may be a reference to the fact that the standard size of business cards (2 × 3.5 inches) is smaller than that of playing cards (2.5 × 3.5 inches).
