Breaking Points: Credit Card News

American Express has launched a new mid-tier cash back business card called the Amex Graphite Unlimited 2% Cash Back card. It carries a $295 annual fee and earns unlimited 2% cash back on all purchases, plus 5% back on hotels and airfare booked through the Amex Travel portal. The signup bonus is $1,500, but it requires $50,000 in spending in the first 6 months. The bonus is issued as Reward Dollars, which can be redeemed as statement credits or at Amazon at 1 cent per point. This lands near the bottom of our list of recommended American Express business cards. American Express also announced plans to launch a new Corporate Cash Back card in Fall 2026.
