Guess Who Just Got The American Express Blue Business Plus Credit Card?

Apply For The American Express Blue Business Plus Credit Card Here

 

It was impossible for me to pass up an offer for a NO FEE Amex card that earns 2X Membership Rewards points on ALL PURCHASES (up to $50,000), not to mention a 20,000 points bonus.  So I applied for the American Express Blue Business Plus Credit Card the day it came out.  I hadn’t applied for a card in a while, so I was confident that I would be approved.  Note, you can apply for Amex business cards as a sole proprietorship.

Well I was not approved immediately, but instead got the message from Amex that my application was pending.  I awaited word from Amex…..

They called me a few days later.  They wanted to give me the card, but they informed me that I would need to cancel another one of my Amex cards because I was not allowed to have more than five cards inclusive of BUSINESS AND PERSONAL cards. (I had 5 already-Business Platinum, Starwood Personal, Starwood Business, Delta Platinum, and Amex Everyday Preferred).

I happily canceled my personal Starwood card, after all I had the business card anyway.  I made sure that I moved that credit line because remember, YOU NEVER WANT TO CANCEL A CARD WITHOUT MOVING YOUR CREDIT LINE IF YOU CAN!

I am excited that I now have an Amex card that earns 2X Membership Rewards points and may think twice before I take my Chase Freedom Unlimited out of my wallet.  Maybe this Amex card will be my new go-to card.

The competition between Chase and Amex is very lucrative for all of us consumers.  I hope you guys are taking advantage of this also!
