The point.me verdict

4/5

The American Express® Business Gold Card rewards focused spenders: 4x on your top two eligible categories each year up to $150,000, one of the best earn rates on a business card. Statement credits can offset the $375 fee. The catch: outside those categories there's little bonus earning, and fewer credit options than similar Amex cards. Show rates & fees.

What we love

  • 4x on your top two eligible categories annually, across six category types, up to $150,000
  • Statement credits that can offset most of the $375 fee if used organically

What we don't

  • Little bonus earning outside the top-two categories despite the $375 fee
  • Fewer credit options than other Amex cards at a similar fee
