Expert Rating:
If you had your eye on the American Express Business Platinum card but shied away from the $0 for the first year, then $957 annual fee, this card is a solid alternative for any business. Businesses will have full access to the outstanding American Express Membership Rewards program, with the most flexible reward redemption offers out there. Transfer points to fly on any airline you choose, earn extra points from your employees’ cards, and keep control of those cards by setting spending limits for each employee. But remember that this is a charge card, not a regular credit card, so the balance must be paid in full each month.
