The Business Green Rewards Card from American Express is clearly the “starter” card in the Amex ecosystem for small businesses looking for No Preset Spending Limit (which means your spending limit is flexible. Unlike a traditional card with a set limit, the amount you can spend adapts based on factors such as your purchase, payment, and credit history) without the heftier annual fees of the American Express® Business Gold Card or The Business Platinum Card® from American Express.
However, with this card earning just 1 point per eligible dollar spent (2 points per dollar only for Flights & Prepaid Hotels booked on AmexTravel.com) and lacking any annual statement credits or rich benefits, we struggle to see the value in paying a $95 annual fee.
Although it doesn’t have No Preset Spending Limit, if you truly can’t make the annual fee work on the American Express® Business Gold Card or The Business Platinum Card® from American Express cards, then we would recommend The Blue Business® Plus Credit Card from American Express which earns 2x bonus points on all eligible purchases up to a $50,000 annual limit (1x on all eligible purchases thereafter) and has no annual fee.
If you need a much higher credit limit, then we’d advise considering the American Express® Business Gold Card or The Business Platinum Card® from American Express.

The Chase Slate Edge is specifically aimed at those people who have at least “good” credit but need some help with either existing credit card balances with high APRs or to finance new purchases using the 0% Introductory APR offer (detailed above in Key Facts).
Because it doesn’t earn rewards, it’s not our first choice of card if you are opening a new card for any other purpose. For instance, also with no annual fee, you could earn 1.5% cash back on the Chase Freedom Unlimited® card. Or, for just a $95 annual fee, you could reap the many benefits of the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card.
But if your reason for a new card is to lower existing debt or finance new debt, the Chase Slate Edge could be right for you.
