American Express small business cards highest welcome offer ever

[tylerc]

Figured this deserved its own thread. American Express small business cards are currently offering their highest membership rewards welcome bonus ever.

Membership rewards points can be transferred 1:1 to Aeroplan, Avios and at 1:1.2 to Marriott, or used as statement credits or against travel purchases through American Express travel.

American Express business platinum card is offering 100k membership rewards signup bonus after $10k spend within 3 months (yup, that's a lot!).

For those wondering if the fee is worth it since many perks are travel related (airport benefits, lounges, travel insurance) - Amex did a good job of keeping this card valuable with other offers throughout the year, which offset the annual fee for me. The fee is $499, but at a minimum the 100k points is worth $1000, and can be worth much more when transferred to a program such as Aeroplan.

American Express business gold is currently offering 60k membership rewards points after $5k spend within 3 months (a bit more reasonable). It doesn't come with the lounge access and airport benefits the platinum comes with, but it does still have fairly generous travel insurance. The fee for this card is $250, though the welcome bonus is worth a minimum of $600 when used as statement credits, and worth much more when transferred to Aeroplan. It's not unreasonable to get double the value when using the points through Aeroplan, making this is a fairly hot offer.

Note the offer is by referral only, so you'll need to ask an existing cardholder to share their link. PM if you'd like more info, or have questions about the best use of points!

I agree with the above information provided by you. I just want to add American Express Business Edge Card (known as the best flexible rewards credit card for small businesses) to the list and it provides a rewards rate of around 1.45% and a welcome bonus of 45,000 points.
