With the Blue Business Plus, small businesses can maximize their everyday business purchases, whether it’s shopping for office supplies to paying for client dinners to restocking inventory. There’s no annual fee and a nice welcome bonus to boot.
You can earn valuable Membership Rewards points at a terrific rewards rate: 2x bonus points per dollar spent on all eligible purchases, up to the first $50,000 spent per year; 1X thereafter. This makes the Blue Business Plus a great fit for businesses who don’t want to keep up with confusing bonus categories and spend less than this $50,000 limit every year. Above all, American Express Membership Rewards points are acclaimed for flexibility, as you can redeem them for travel, gift cards, charges on your statement credits, and more.
While you’ll be assigned a credit limit upon account opening, you’ll have access to Amex’s unique expanded buying power tool. This gives you the flexibility to pay for expenses potentially above your credit limit, which is important for business owners who likely have thousands of dollars of expenses every year. You’ll also get access to a 0% introductory APR rate on purchases in the first 12 months of account opening.
There are also important business expense management tools that can help you keep track of your business’s annual revenue and expenditures. With complimentary access to QuickBooks and Vendor Pay by Bill.com, the Amex Blue Business Plus is a fantastic starter card whether you own a new business or have a side hustle.
