Staff Review

Editor's Rating:

4.9 out of 5

Our take: The Business Platinum Card from American Express offers great travel benefits and a large introductory offer, but the spending requirement to earn the offer is daunting, and many small business owners may be hard-pressed to spend enough to qualify for all of the card’s benefits.
