Amplify Everyday Business Spend with the American Express Blue Business Plus^™ Card

• 2X Membership Rewards^® points on eligible purchases outside Amex Travel, up to $50,000 per calendar year, then 1X; eligible Amex Travel bookings earn a separate total of 2X
• 1X point on purchases thereafter
• No annual fee
• Expanded Buying Power lets you exceed your credit limit when you need extra flexibility
• Up to 99 employee cards at no additional cost, each with customizable spending controls

The welcome offer is up to 50,000 points after $5,000 in eligible purchases in three months, depending on your personal Amex offer. Earn 2X on the first $50,000 of eligible non-Amex-Travel purchases per calendar year, then 1X. Eligible Amex Travel bookings earn a separate total of 2X and do not consume that allowance; do not add the rates together. Purchases have a 0% introductory APR for 12 months, then a variable 16.99%–28.74% APR. Foreign transactions carry a 2.7% fee.

Terms apply. The $50,000 calendar-year allowance excludes Amex Travel purchases; eligible Amex Travel bookings earn a separate total of 2X. Expanded Buying Power depends on Amex approval and is not unlimited. See the issuer’s full terms.

The Capital One VentureOne Business card suits businesses that want to earn miles without an annual fee. It earns 1.5 miles per dollar on purchases and 5 miles on hotels, vacation rentals and rental cars booked through Capital One Business Travel.

The current offer provides 50,000 miles after $4,500 in purchases in the first three months. Its base earning rate is lower than the 2 miles offered by Venture Business, but that card has a $95 annual fee. The better fit depends on the business’s spending and how it uses its miles.

No foreign transaction fees can help with purchases abroad. The variable purchase APR of 16.99% to 22.99%, based on creditworthiness, still makes paying in full important. Hotels and rental cars booked directly do not qualify for the portal’s 5-mile rate.

Maximize Your Stays with the IHG One Rewards Credit Card

• 125,000 bonus points after $2,000 in eligible purchases in the first 3 months, plus 10,000 points after adding the first authorized user in the first 3 months, for up to 135,000 points in total. The authorized-user bonus is awarded once.
• Up to 17x points per $1 on eligible IHG stays: 5 from the card, plus up to 12 from membership and Silver status; totals vary by brand
• 3x points on groceries, gas and dining; eligible utilities, internet, cable, phone and select streaming also earn 3 until December 31, 2026, then 2
• 2x points on all other purchases
• No annual fee and no foreign transaction fees
• 4th night free on eligible standard-room award stays of at least four consecutive nights at the same hotel; from 2027, $5,000 in calendar-year purchases is required

This no-annual-fee card is most useful if you redeem points for eligible IHG stays. Separate its 5 card points per $1 at qualifying IHG hotels from the membership and status points included in the advertised maximum of 17. The services promotion ends on December 31, 2026; it does not cover every monthly bill. Automatic Silver Elite status is included; $15,000 in eligible calendar-year purchases can earn Gold Elite status and 10,000 bonus points under the issuer’s terms. The annual-spend award is separate from the welcome offer and is not added to the calculator’s estimate.

Offer eligibility, required spending, hotel availability and issuer terms apply. A no-annual-fee card can still charge interest and other fees. Variable purchase APR: 19.49%–27.99%; no foreign transaction fees. Source checked October 26, 2026: https://creditcards.chase.com/travel-credit-cards/ihg-rewards-club/traveler

The Capital One Spark Cash Select earns a flat 1.5% on business purchases with no annual fee. That simplicity can suit businesses that do not want to manage bonus categories. Free employee cards and customizable spending limits can also help with expense tracking.

The 5% rate applies to hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Business Travel; direct bookings do not receive that rate. The introductory 0% purchase period lasts nine months before a variable rate applies. Financing should therefore be assessed separately from cash-back earnings and spending already planned.

The U.S. Bank Triple Cash Rewards Business has no annual fee and earns 3% in its eligible gas/EV charging, office supply, cell phone service and restaurant categories, and 1% on other eligible purchases. The public welcome offer is $750 after $6,000 in eligible net purchases on the Account Owner’s card within the first 180 days; authorized employee-card purchases do not qualify for that threshold.

Gas and EV charging transactions over $200 do not earn the 3% rate; certain superstores and wholesale clubs are also excluded. The $100 software credit requires eleven consecutive months of eligible purchases made directly with a software service provider. It should not be counted as an assured benefit without checking subscriptions against the issuer’s conditions.
