Connor's Recommendation
Businesses who need more time to pay invoices
Amex Plum
Businesses with a lot of non category spend
Amex Blue
Businesses who spend 15K+ in 4X Category (otherwise blue card)
Amex Gold
Businesses who spend more than 375K+ per year in a 4X category
Amex Gold (x2-8)
Amex Centurion
I recommend Amex Personal platinum over the Amex Business Platinum - better credits, authorized users, and cash out abilities
If offered the centurion card always ask for the business version. Business only benefits are the 50% rebate on points on all flights and the annual fee is tax deductible
Multipliers
2X All Purchases (Blue)
4X Advertising, Technology & Software, Shipping, Gas Stations, Restaurants, Airfare (Gold)
5X Airfare (Centurion)
Total Cost $0-$8000 | Potential Referrals 55K-550K
