We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Update: One or more card offers in this post are no longer available. Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers.

    The Amex Business Green Rewards Card has gotten a makeover, with an interesting intro offer and an increased earning rate on travel purchases. Now, through Nov. 6, 2019, you can earn 3x Amex Membership Rewards points on these combined eligible purchases (up to $50,000) made in the first three months of account opening:

    In addition to that intro offer, you’ll also earn 3x American Express points on all travel booked through the Amex travel site and 1X points on all other purchases. The Amex Business Green card has a $95 annual fee (see rates and fees). The information for the Amex Business Green has been collected independently by Million Mile Secrets. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.      

    Previously, this card had an intro offer of 5,000 Amex points after making your first purchase, and only earned 2x points on travel booked through the Amex site. So the new benefits make the card slightly more valuable, but there are still much better Amex card options.

    If you’re going to spend the full $50,000 (in three months) on travel you’re likely to be better off applying for the American Express® Business Gold Card or the Amex Business Platinum card. The Business Platinum card currently has an increased offer of 100,000 Amex points after you spend $25,000 in qualifying purchases in the first three months of account opening and it earns 5x Amex points on flights and prepaid hotels booked through the Amex travel site. The Amex Business Gold card earns 4x Amex points (on up to $150,000 in combined purchases each calendar year, then 1x) in the top two of these categories you spend in each month:

    Personally, I also consider The Blue Business® Plus Credit Card from American Express to be a better card; it earns 2x Amex points on all purchases (up to $50,000 a year, then 1x).
