Why You Might Want This Card

Should Be On Your List of Amex Cards

This is a smart option if you're a small business owner who loves Marriott. And what's not to love when you consider that Marriott is a high-end brand that offers both hotel rooms as well as all-inclusive resort stays. They have a reputation to keep, so even if you go to a “lesser-developed” area, you’re still guaranteed a great stay at a Marriott. You'll get an annual free night with this card, as well as Silver Elite Status. This card also earns 6x points at Marriott Bonvoy hotels, 4x points at restaurants, gas stations and cell phone services. And 2x points on all other purchases. The welcome offer is substantial. And though you’re able to transfer points to 42 different airline partners, the best value still comes from using them toward Marriott stays.

Bottom Line

This particular card is an Amex, which is great if you’ve reached your Chase 5/24 limit. It’s not a great choice if you haven’t. American Express cards aren’t accepted everywhere, and it does have a $125 annual fee. That said, the free annual anniversary night can offset the annual fee.

Application Rules

No CR

This business card will not show on your personal credit report, so it won't count against your 5/24 status

No 2nd Biz

You might not be allowed to get a second card for a separate business (EIN)

Bonvoy 1/24

You're allowed only 1 personal and 1 business Bonvoy Card at the same time, and only 1 bonus in the last 24 months

Amex 3/90

You'll be declined if you apply for a fourth Amex card in 90 days

No 5/24

Card approval not subject to 5-personal-cards-in-24-months rule

Amex 1/10

Amex allows only 1 bonus per specific card per lifetime (yours or that version of the card)
