In-Depth Credit Card Review |
This online card application is intended for residents of the United States only. For other country options, please refer to the right hand menu bar.
The Blue Cash® for Business Credit Card, issued by American Express®, is designed for business owners with average credit who plan to take advantage of the cash back reward program.
The cash rebate amount varies according to where the cardholder makes their purchases. Cardholders earn a cash back rebate of up to 5% at "OPEN Savings" locations and up to 2.5% for all other general purchases. It is important to understand that once the annual spending exceeds $15,000, the rebate for additional "Open Savings" purchases is 2%, and the rebate for all other additional purchases is 1%. "OPEN Savings" locations include FedEx®, Hertz®, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM®, and more.
The card has a 0% introductory rate on purchases for six months, a 7.99% introductory rate on balance transfers made within the first six months of membership for the life of the loan, and no annual fee. In relation to other business reward cards, this card has a reasonably low interest rate for purchases (for higher qualifying applicants).
Cardholders will also be able to take advantage of various services and benefits including purchase protection, travel accident insurance, and various travel and emergency assistance services.
Therefore, those who qualify for the lowest rate offered and plan to take advantage of the cash back reward program will benefit most from what the Blue Cash® for Business Credit Card has to offer.
Most Attractive Feature: Cash back reward; no annual fee; no yearly limit on cash rebates.
Least Attractive Feature: Low rate not available to all applicants.
