American Express has introduced the refreshed US American Express Business Gold Card with various features, benefits, and rewards built for business. 

With this introduction, features include an ability to earn 4X Membership Rewards points in top business spending categories and enrol in benefits to earn statement credits.

According to a recent survey from American Express, 86% of small businesses said that either value, flexibility, convenience, or breadth of benefits are most important when looking for a card to help run their business. Therefore, the refreshed US Business Gold Card intends to provide all those features together with the backing of American Express to help small businesses run and grow their business.

  • Users can be reimbursed the lesser of their repair or replacement costs following damage, such as a cracked screen, or theft for a maximum of USD 800 per claim when your cell phone line is listed on a wireless bill and the prior month's wireless bill was paid by an Eligible Card Account. A USD 50 deductible will apply to each approved claim with a limit of two approved claims per 12-month period.
