Why I like this card

The Business Platinum Card from American Express is an excellent credit card for business owners who travel often. While the annual fee may seem high, the numerous perks and benefits make it worth the cost.

The card provides a generous welcome offer, which is a great way to quickly earn points. Additionally, cardholders can earn 5X points on flights and prepaid hotels booked through amextravel.com, making it an excellent way to earn rewards while booking travel. The card also offers 1.5X points on eligible purchases at select US suppliers and on purchases of $5,000 or more everywhere else, up to $2 million of these purchases per calendar year, allowing you to earn rewards on a variety of purchases throughout the year.

Another benefit of the Business Platinum Card is the statement credits for select purchases. Cardholders can receive over $1,000 in value per year for statement credits on select purchases, including tech, recruiting, and wireless with the Business Platinum Card. This is a great way to offset the cost of business expenses and save money in the process.

The card also offers a $200 airline fee credit and a $189 CLEAR® Plus Credit, which are great perks for frequent travelers. The American Express Global Lounge Collection® provides access to more than 1,400 airport lounges across 140 countries, which is a great way to relax and recharge before a flight.

I highly recommend the Business Platinum Card from American Express for business owners who travel frequently. The card provides many benefits and rewards that can help offset travel expenses and save money on business purchases.
