The increased sign-up bonus for the SimplyCash Business Card from American Express has been extended once again! So for a limited time, you can still earn $250 in cash back when you complete the minimum spending.

You can earn 5% cash back on groceries, clothing, airfare, and more with this card! I’ll explain how!

With the AMEX SimplyCash card, you can still earn $250 in cash back when you spend $5,000 on purchases within the 1st 6 months of opening your account. This deal is available for a limited time.

Other benefits include:

5% cash back at US office supply stores and US wireless service
3% cash back in 1 out of 7 categories (including airfare, US restaurants, and US gas stations)
NO Annual Fee
Terms & conditions apply

I wouldn’t use this card outside of the US because it charges a 2.7% foreign transaction fee. But what’s great about AMEX SimplyCash is you can earn 5% cash back at US office supply stores. And office supply stores carry gift cards to lots of other retailers like:

Amazon
AMC Theaters
Southwest
Disney
Whole Foods

Plus, there’s NO annual fee!

AMEX SimplyCash is a small business card but you don’t need to have a company with millions in revenue to qualify. In fact, earning money from business activities like tutoring, childcare, and eBay sales may be enough to get your application approved!

Bottom Line

American Express has extended the $250 sign-up bonus when you complete the minimum spending for the AMEX SimplyCash card.

With this card, you’ll earn 5% cash back at US office supply stores (and wireless service purchased in the US). So by purchasing gift cards at places like Staples, you can save 5% at Amazon, Southwest, Disney, and more!
