These are all-around solid rewards cards, combining big up-front welcome offers with a long list of luxury perks. There is one super-critical, time-sensitive difference between the two that we’d like to highlight in this post – and if you’re a business owner, listen up:You’ve got less than a week left to take advantage of a limited-time, increased welcome bonus of up to 100,000 Membership Rewards points for the Amex Business Platinum. But, hopefully, this post will tell you everything you need to know so you can act right away.
- 10 free Gogo inflight Wi-Fi passes each year
- 1.5x points on purchases of $5,000 or more (up to 1 million additional points per year)
- A complimentary year of Platinum Global Access with WeWork (enrollment must be done by December 31, 2019)
- Up to $200 in annual statement credits for Dell technology purchases, split into a $100 credit for January through June and another $100 credit for July through December
Other perks which the card shares with the Amex Platinum include:
- Up to $200 airline fee credit each year
- Access to Centurion Lounges and Delta Sky Clubs (when flying Delta)
- Access to other lounges in the American Express Global Lounge Collection
- Gold elite status with Hilton Honors and Gold elite status with Marriott Bonvoy
- 5 points per dollar spent on flights and prepaid hotels (both must be booked through Amex Travel on the Business Platinum)
One final note: This card proves its worth and then some for any businessperson engaged in regular travel — even though it comes with an annual fee of $595 (which can be offset by taking advantage of the $200 airline fee credit and the annual up to $200 Dell credit, meaning your net annual fee would only be $195 after that). And there’s tons more to take advantage of, from lounge access at almost any airport in the world to helping you get on the internet during flights — and of course that bonus offer which is higher than ever.
