Review of AMEX's Business Gold Rewards card | Credit card reward programs | Discussion forum

I've had this card for a year now and I think it is one of the best business reward cards out there.

There are bonus points as well:

Earn up to 40,000 bonus points. Every year. 15,000 points when you reach $50,000 in purchases. Another 25,000 when you reach $100,000

If you spend over $100,000 / year, the rewards on this are hard to beat.

I booked a 120,000 mile Asia 1 First Class ticket with Aeroplan with 3 different stopovers and 10 flight segments (maximum allowed). It was a great trip and well worth the points. Unfortunately, they increased the mileage needed for this trip to 175,000 points. The ticket is worth somewhere between $18,000 and $30,000 if you actually paid for it, so at this rate of return, you would be getting ((140,000 / 120,000) * $18,000) / $100,000 = 21% return! At the new redemption level, you would get 14.4% return, assuming you spent exactly $100,000 / year.

Here's an example of someone who has documented their reward trips: http://boardingarea.com/blogs/.....ass-award/
