Plus: 7 ways to get free or discounted TSA PreCheck, Global Entry and Clear November 2, 2023 [THE POINTS GUY]( [View in browser]( [TPG Daily NEWSLETTER]( [THE POINTS GUY]( 2 shades of Blue (business cards) by Nick Ewen, Director of Content [TPG | Hero Image] Many [business cards]( feature valuable perks and lucrative bonuses — but they often incur hefty annual fees. But last month, American Express launched [rare welcome offers]( on two of its terrific no-annual-fee cards: - [The Blue Business® Plus Credit Card from American Express]( (see [rates and fees]( Earn 15,000 bonus points after spending $3,000 on eligible purchases in the first three months of card membership. - [The American Express Blue Business Cash™ Card]( (see [rates and fees]( Earn $250 cash back via statement credit after spending $3,000 on purchases in the first three months of card membership. Beyond the bonuses, the Blue Business Plus earns 2 Membership Rewards points per dollar on the first $50,000 you spend in a calendar year (then 1 point per dollar). Meanwhile, the Blue Business Cash offers 2% back on the first $50,000 you spend each year (then 1%). Two percent back on a no-annual-fee business card is impressive, but it’s the [Blue Business Plus]( that can really amplify your rewards. Fifty thousand dollars in spending would get you 100,000 points per year (worth $2,000 based on [TPG’s valuations]( and that’s not even including the welcome bonus or other bonus points you can earn through [Amex Offers]( — like the [current one on Amazon purchases](. This card plays a major role in my earning strategy since I almost always prioritize [transferable rewards]( over others. However, the [Blue Business Cash]( is also a great option for enterprises that want simplicity — especially since the rewards you earn are automatically credited to your account. And you [may qualify for a business card]( without even knowing it.
