Double Membership Rewards Points for Amex Business Cards, Plus a $100,000 Sweepstakes

November 1, 2006 ccwatcher American Express, Business Cards, Sweepstakes

Amex is running another double Membership Rewards points promo targeted towards its Business card holders from November 1, 2006 through January 31, 2007. However, instead of earning double points on all purchases, you’ll only earn double points on your monthly spending above the amount of your October 2006 spending:

For example, if you spend $1,000 in October, $1,200 in November, $1,500 in December and $800 in January, the positive difference in your spending would be $700 and you would earn 700 bonus points in addition to the 3,500 regular points you would have earned for your spending from November through January.

In addition, when you register for this promotion, you’re automatically entered into a sweepstakes with a Grand Prize of a $100,000 statement credit. There are also four first prizes of a $10,000 statement credit and 2,000 second prizes of a $25 Starbucks gift card.

You can register for this promo either online at www.open.com/sweeps or by calling 1-866-537-1397.

Amex Launches New Starwood Business Credit Card

October 6, 2006 ccwatcher American Express, Business Cards, Travel Cards

This tidbit comes from our friends at FT. American Express is now offering a business version of their popular SPG Amex. It looks to feature largely the same benefits as the personal card, namely a 10000 points signup bonus, and one Starpoint per dollar of spending which is doubled at participating Starwood properties. There are a couple of differences, however:

As part of the OPEN Savings Program, there are some discounts at select retailers such as AT&T, FedEx and Hertz
According to the linked thread from FT, as a business card, the Purchase protection has a lower per instance limit, but offers Primary CDW for rental cars in the US

~~As with the personal card, there is a $30 annual fee, which is waived for the first year. To apply, visit this link.~~

Edit: The terms for this offer may have changed. For the latest terms of the SPG business card or to apply, see this link.
