The Blue Business® Plus Credit Card from American Express
Information about this card has been collected independently by Monkey Miles. Card issuer is not responsible for the information or accuracy.
One of the very best small business credit cards is The Blue Business® Plus Credit Card from American Express. It offers 2x points, regardless of category, on every single dollar you spend, up to $50k, after that you’ll earn 1x per dollar.
Note these offers come and go so keep an eye out for when they chance and shoot me an email if you see a better one than what I have listed and I’ll embed the link.
Does this count against your 5/24?
Amex does not report business cards on your personal credit report, so this will not add to your Chase 5/24 number
Is this the best offer ever?
The best ever has been 50k after $12k spend in 12 months. That Referral offer comes and goes. You should definitely reference our best offers spreadsheet
You may be a small business and not know it.
Do you tutor as a side gig? Buy and Sell on Ebay for profit? Perhaps you consult to subsidize your income. Blog, Vlog, or get paid to walk the dog? All of these things, and similar activities, may actually qualify you to be a sole proprietor and thus…a small business. Why not have a card that segregates all those expenses and make your life easier come tax time.

Here’s how it works with our site and referrals: do not spam post or I’ll block your referral
First off, this is meant to help everyone. So, if you’re posting your referral a dozen times a day, week, month, and trying to manipulate the comment section, I’m going block your referral for abuse. No ifs ands or buts – if I see you’re doing it, or you’re flagged by another use, I’ll just block you from ever posting. Let’s not ruin a good thing.
We earn commission when you use our links via our partner Cardratings or CreditCards.com and are really grateful when you do, but we also publish other deals that may be attractive to you. Referrals, are one of those other deals, and is a way we can give back to you for supporting us since you earn a referral bonus when someone uses your link.
We want to give you an opportunity to earn some valuable points as well, and so this is how we go about doing it.
- We add our own referrals first
- Because we use a ton of points every year and publish reviews of the flight and hotels we take, but we quickly max out
- We add those of friends and family to load up their accounts
- Once those are maxed out
- We then import your links from the comments section below to help you out.
- We usually leave those up for a few weeks and cycle through them, or when we get an email notifying us that someone’s account has maxes out
You can also leave referrals for
- The Platinum Card® from American Express
- American Express® Gold Card
- The Business Platinum Card® from American Express
- American Express® Green Card
- American Express® Business Gold Card
- Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card
- Blue Business® Plus Credit Card
- The American Express Blue Business Cash™ Card
- Amex EveryDay® Preferred
*I would note that you get more action when the referral is correlated to the article.
2x on everything
As I mentioned up above, you get 2x on every single purchase, up to $50k a year, then 1x
Referrals
I make 55k a year, per card, on every single Amex that I keep in my wallet. If you’re a regular reader of the blog, you know that I push my links first, then family and friends, and ultimately you guys. I run contests and promos where you can win a featured slot, but also just randomly select links you add in the comments section. Feel free to add your referrals down below.
Overall
This is a card that I keep in my wallet and use all the time, it’s been in our Monkey Miles top cards since it was introduced, and fills in the category bonus gaps that mean you never earn less than 2 Membership Rewards per dollar spent. That’s pretty fantastic.
