No annual fee, and 2x MR points on all purchases! Unbelievable for regular spending, (beats FU IMHO), but no signup bonus as of yet. Let's wait and see..

Not even, the lack of signup bonus (for now) negates any plus over another card. Unless you're mamash out of Amex cards to apply for, and are applying for something else simultaneously, this isn't great. Think about it: The FU, even assuming UR and MR are equal (MR are better IMHO if you have the BP), will earn you 1.5 UR. But because of the initial (at least) 15k UR (plus referral bonus), you're technically earning 2 UR per dollar for your first 30k of spending.. Although for those who carry balances, this has a nice intro APR offer, is a business card, and more importantly for all of us,, is an Amex card, not Chase (5/24)

Earn 20,000 extra Membership Rewards ® points

after you spend at least $3,000 in your first 3 months of Card Membership.†


OFFER TERMS

Welcome bonus offer not available to applicants who have or have had this product.

Earn 20,000 Membership Rewards® points after you spend $3,000 in qualifying purchases on the Card within your first 3 months of Card Membership

Earn 20,000 Membership Rewards® points after you spend $3,000 in qualifying purchases* on the Card within your first 3 months of Card Membership. To be eligible to earn additional points, you must charge $3,000 of qualifying purchases* during the first 3 months of membership on an eligible Blue BusinessSM Plus Card from American Express OPEN. Qualifying purchases can be made by the Basic Card Member and any Additional Card Members on a single Card Account. Limit one offer per Card Account. Offer may not be combined with any other special offer. You can earn 20,000 Membership Rewards points after you spend $3,000 or more in qualifying purchases on your Card within your first 3 months of Card Membership starting from the date your account is approved. In rare instances, your period to spend $3,000 may be shorter than 3 months if there is a delay in receiving your Card. Also, purchases may fall outside of the 3 month period in some cases, such as a delay in merchants submitting transactions to us or if the purchase date differs from the date you made the transaction. (For example, if you buy goods online, the purchase date may be the date the goods are shipped). The 20,000 additional points will be credited to your Membership Rewards account 6-8 weeks after you have met the purchase requirement. For questions regarding your Card account, please call the number on the back of your Card.
American Express reserves the right to modify or revoke offer at any time.
