Who Should Get the Amex Business Platinum?
The Amex Business Platinum fits people who want one flat rate: 1x on every purchase. Its $895 annual fee makes sense if the $2,529 a year in credits Creddy lists, plus what you earn, covers it with credits you would use anyway. It is a business card.
Is the Amex Business Platinum Worth the $895 Annual Fee?
The Amex Business Platinum costs $895 a year. Creddy lists 11 trackable credits worth up to $2,529 a year if you use every one, $1,634 more than the fee. You break even once you use about 35% of that credit value, so count only the credits you would use anyway. Credits that need a spending threshold are not counted.
Check enrollment requirements, merchant restrictions, reset timing and the issuer's current terms before applying.
