Hello everyone,
If I get the Amex pop-up that I'm not eligible for the welcome bonus, does it also mean the 0 APR, or just the bonus points?

Based on this info it would sound like the answer is no:

Looking to open my first business credit card -- do you recommend the AMEX Business Blue?  Also for these AMEX cashback cards -- do they really give you 2% cash back and a $250 credit welcome bonus or are they in form of points?

Thanks!

Yes, the BBP is a great biz card. 2X MR is tough to beat.

Thanks!

You will be earning MR (Membership Rewards)

Hope this helps

These are 2 different cards. The OP referenced the Amex Biz Blue which offers 2% cash back and currently has a $250 welcome offer which is cash back not points. There is also the Blue Business Plus which is the subject of this thread that offers 2MR point per dollar spent. That currently has a 15k MR opening bonus.

On Amex cashback cards you earn straight cash back not in the form of points and not transferable to points. However, the BBP card is a points earning credit card.

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

Yeah I thought he was referencing BBP since that's the thread he posted in

See quote below from the original post on website.

"If you have a Blue Business Plus card to earn 2 points per dollar everywhere and you also have an AMEX Business Platinum card you値l be able to redeem points earned on this card for at least 1.54 cents each on airfare thanks to a 35% points rebate on paid flight redemptions. If you opened or upgraded to a Business Platinum card between 10/1/16-5/31/17 you値l earn at least 2 cents per points on airfare thanks to a 50% points rebate on paid flight redemptions. You can read more in this post on those changes.

-Getting a 35% points rebate is like getting a 1.54% value per point for paid tickets that means you can earn 3.08% back everywhere and 4.62% back on Uber thanks to the stacked 2 points per dollar on spending and the point redemption rebate!

If you get 35% back and have a AMEX Consumer Platinum Card and a AMEX Business Platinum card and redeem points for a paid flight using your consumer Platinum you値l get 4 points per dollar redeemed, making for an effective 1.64% rebate, meaning you値l earn 3.28% back everywhere and 4.92% back on Uber thanks to the stacked 2 points per dollar on spending and the point redemption rebate!


-Getting a 50% points rebate is like getting a 2% value per point for paid tickets that means you can earn 4% back everywhere and 6% back on Uber thanks to the stacked 2 points per dollar on spending and the point redemption rebate!

If you get 50% back and have a AMEX Consumer Platinum Card and a AMEX Business Platinum card and redeem points for a paid flight using your consumer Platinum you値l get 4 points per dollar redeemed, making for an effective 2.17% rebate, meaning you値l earn 4.34% back everywhere and 6.51% back on Uber thanks to the stacked 2 points per dollar on spending and the point redemption rebate!

Those numbers will be even higher if you find insider fares that offer discounted flights for using points. You can read more in this post for those calculations."

I having a difficult time understanding... If only have Platinum Consumer and this Blue Business Plus, how can I maximize the earning?

On business cards you still get the 0% apr
Is this still the case? @Samb
If it benefits even just one fellow DDFer, its worth posting it.
