Traveling for business can be a drag as you move from city to city to meet clients, generate leads, and visit vendors. But adding a little luxury to the process can improve your travel experience and help you feel refreshed during long travel days. The Business Platinum Card® from American Express offers numerous travel benefits, including travel and dining credits, airport lounge access, hotel elite status, and more.

Amex Business Platinum cardholders have several ways to earn Membership Rewards points on purchases, limited-time offers, and successful referrals.

Eligible new cardholders can earn a welcome offer in addition to the points you’ll earn on each transaction.

When booking flights or prepaid hotels through Amex Travel, you'll earn 5x points per dollar. This allows business owners to maximize points on travel purchases booked through Amex’s travel portal. There’s no annual limit to the 5x rewards you can earn on these travel purchases.
