Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
Business owners look for high-value cards. Amex offers 300,000 points. A $20,000 spend in three months. A $895 fee. A good credit score. A business with a DBA. A soft credit check. A welcome offer that’s not for everyone.
Eligibility is a maze. Prior cardholders are out. Too many Amex cards? Also out. A freelance business? Maybe. A high credit score? Probably. A business plan? Required.
Travel perks, hotel credits, and lounge access. All for a card that’s not just for big companies. A small business can qualify. But only if the numbers add up.
The card promises a business boost, but it’s a high-stakes gamble for those who don’t meet the exact criteria.
