Breaking Points: Credit Card News

Amex is removing FedEx as an option for the Business Gold card’s Flexible Business Credit starting October 2, 2026. The card currently offers a $20 monthly credit usable at office supply stores, Grubhub, and FedEx. Amex has not announced whether another partner will replace FedEx or if the credit will become more limited going forward. The company has also recently sent surveys to cardholders about potential card changes, suggesting a broader refresh could be coming.

The new $300 ChatGPT Business credit is now live for Amex Business Platinum and Business Gold cardholders. While Amex announced the benefit back in March, full details were not available until now. To qualify, you must subscribe to the Business version of ChatGPT, which requires a minimum of two users. Annual billing lowers the cost to $20 per user per month versus $25 monthly, but even with the $300 credit, a two-user annual plan still costs $180 out of pocket. Enrollment through Amex is required before the credit will apply. This is a solid savings opportunity for businesses already paying for ChatGPT, though it’s less compelling for solo entrepreneurs who don’t need multiple seats.

Capital One has not yet announced whether cashback or points earned on Discover cards can be combined with Capital One miles or whether product changes to Capital One cards will be allowed. We’ll update the relevant pages as more details are released.
