American Express Business Gold Plus Card

The American Express Business Gold Plus Card is ideal for business owners looking to streamline cash flow while earning rewards on everyday expenses. It offers 3 Membership Rewards points per $1 spent with select partners including Xero, Google Ads, Meta, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Dell. You’ll also earn 2 points per $1 spent using American Express AccessLine (pending application and approval), 1.5 points per $1 on general business spending, and 1 point per $1 spent with government bodies. Once you reach 200,000 points in a calendar year, the earn rate drops to 1 point per $1. For example, the introductory bonus of 100,000 Membership Rewards Points could be redeemed for $500 in Myer shopping credit or 50,000 Velocity Points. Plus, you can receive up to $550 in statement credits for eligible spending with Xero, Google Ads, Meta, AWS and Dell (enrolment required).
