The Business Platinum Card® from American Express is one of the most popular business cards due to its many perks and benefits, and adding it to your wallet now can be the key to unlocking lots of award travel later this year and beyond.
Now is a particularly good time to sign up for the Amex Business Platinum since it has an elevated welcome offer of 150,000 Membership Rewards points after you spend $20,000 on eligible purchases with your card in the first three months of card membership.
According to TPG's valuations, these 150,000 points are worth $3,000 when transferred to high-value Membership Rewards airline transfer partners like Air Canada Aeroplan and British Airways Executive Club to book awards — such as using 60,000 Aeroplan points one-way to fly to Europe in business class on airlines such as United Airlines, Lufthansa and Swiss.
But even if you don't want to deal with transfer partners, you can still get over $2,000 in value from these 150,000 points when you use Pay with Points in the Amex Travel portal: Book first- or business-class tickets on any airline (or economy tickets on one airline of your choice) at a fixed value of 1 cent per point and receive 35% of your points back as a bonus (up to 1 million points per calendar year).
The Amex Business Platinum has a $695 annual fee (see rates and fees) but offers many perks and benefits that can improve your travel experience. Enrollment required for select benefits. From access to more than 1,400 airport lounges to Gold status with Marriott Bonvoy and Hilton Honors and hundreds in annual statement credits, you'll up your travel game immediately with this card – especially with the increased 150,000-point bonus if you act now!
