According to a recent survey from American Express1, 86% of small businesses surveyed say that either value, flexibility, convenience, or a breadth of benefits are most important when looking for a card to help run their business. The refreshed U.S. Business Gold Card provides all those features, as well as the powerful backing of American Express to help small businesses run and grow their business.

“The refreshed Business Gold Card helps our Card Members spend more time on what’s important: running their business,” said Anna Marrs, Group President of Global Commercial Services and Credit & Fraud Risk at American Express. “Whether they’re making purchases for business needs like advertising, wireless bills, technology expenses, or on office supplies, booking travel, or dining with clients, the refreshed Business Gold Card will help small businesses unlock value.”

Flexible Rewards that Adapt to Business Spend

As the smarter rewards Card for small businesses, Card Members can use the U.S. Business Gold Card to automatically earn 4X Membership Rewards points in the top two eligible categories where their business spent the most each billing cycle, to help take the guesswork out of earning rewards. Applicable on the first $150,000 in combined purchases each calendar year, including:

  • (NEW) U.S. purchases made from electronic goods retailers and software & cloud system providers,
  • (NEW) Monthly wireless telephone service charges made directly from a wireless telephone service provider in the U.S.,
  • (NEW) Transit purchases including trains, taxicabs, rideshare services, ferries, tolls, parking, buses, and subways,
  • Purchases at U.S. media providers for advertising in select media (online, TV, radio),
  • U.S. purchases at gas stations, and
  • U.S. purchases at restaurants, including takeout and delivery.

Card Members will continue to earn 1X points on other eligible purchases.

New Everyday Essentials to Help Run Your Business

In addition, U.S. Business Gold Card Members can now enjoy:

  • (NEW) $240 Flexible Business Credit: earn up to $20 in statement credits each month after you use the Business Gold Card for eligible purchases at FedEx, Grubhub, and Office Supply Stores. Enrollment required.

  • (NEW) Cell Phone Protection: with Cell Phone Protection4, you can be reimbursed the lesser of your repair or replacement costs following damage, such as a cracked screen, or theft for a maximum of $800 per claim when your cell phone line is listed on a wireless bill and the prior month's wireless bill was paid by an Eligible Card Account. A $50 deductible will apply to each approved claim with a limit of 2 approved claims per 12-month period. Additional terms and conditions apply.
  • Payment Flexibility: with the Pay Over Time option you have the ability to carry a balance with interest up to your Pay Over Time Limit, so you can handle expected and unexpected expenses that come your way.
