New American Express AIR MILES Business Card

It was only last week that we were featured in a Globe and Mail article about utilizing travel reward or other reward programs for your business. One topic we touched upon was using a rewards credit or charge card for your business (owner and employees alike using cards tied into one business account). On the travel rewards side we have covered 11 business/corporate cards in the market (see our comparison chart here) and now American Express has introduced a new Air Miles Business Card for the small business/corporate world. This card is a charge card and appears to replace the
American Express® Air Miles Gold Business Card and American Express® Air Miles Platinum Business Card as I can no longer find those on Amex's website.

Here are the details of the new American Express Air Miles Business Card

• 1,200 AIR MILES reward miles when you charge a total of $5,000 in purchases to your Card within your first three months of Cardmembership
