How we estimate
- Every rate on this page comes from the card catalog. Business Green Rewards Card pays 1× on spending outside the bonus categories listed above, and up to 1× on everyday spending.
- We value this card's points at 2¢ each. Cash back is valued at 1¢.
- Net is a year of rewards minus the annual fee. Credits count only when you tick the box.
- Welcome bonuses are left out of the tool so the numbers read as an ordinary year.
- Rent is not in the boxes: most landlords charge a fee that cancels out the rewards, and only a few cards earn on rent at all. Add rent in the full calculator, where those rules are modelled.
- Travel-portal bookings are not in the boxes, because portal prices differ from booking direct. The portal rates are in the table above.
- Rates checked with issuers in October 2026. Terms change, so confirm with the issuer before you apply. Educational estimate, not financial advice.

Where this data came from
Checked americanexpress.com 2026-10-05. Earns 2X Membership Rewards points on flights and prepaid hotels booked on AmexTravel.com or the Amex Travel App, and 1X on all other eligible purchases, so this card is materially weaker than the Blue Business Plus card that gives 2X on the first 50,000 dollars of all spend. Despite the name it is not a successor to, or a rewards-category counterpart to, the Blue Business Plus card; it sits alongside it as a flexible-payment product. Annual fee is 0 dollars for the first year and 95 dollars thereafter, so AnnualFee records the ongoing 95 dollars. Unverified: the welcome offer, which Amex renders client-side and which did not appear in the page source on 2026-10-05, so MinSignupBonus, MaxSignupBonus, MinimumSpendForSignupBonus and SignupBonusPeriodMonths are left null rather than guessed; and the foreign transaction fee, for which Amex published no statement on the product page, so ForeignTransactionFee is null but is not confirmed to be zero. Unverified: the Membership Rewards transfer-partner list for this product, so AirlinePartners and HotelPartners are null. CentPerPoint 2.0 is the catalog's standard Membership Rewards valuation.
FAQ
The Business Green Rewards Card charges $95 a year. Earning alone will not cover the fee: this card pays the same rate as its rivals in the categories most people use. It has to be worth it through credits, the welcome bonus, or a transfer partner you would use.
1× on everyday spending, and 1× on spending outside its bonus categories.
It depends on your mix, not the card. Earning alone will not cover the fee: this card pays the same rate as its rivals in the categories most people use. It has to be worth it through credits, the welcome bonus, or a transfer partner you would use. Run your own numbers in the calculator above to see where it lands against the rest of the catalog.
Yes. It earns Membership Rewards, which you can transfer to the partners below. Transfers are what make a 2¢ valuation reachable; using the points for cash back is worth far less.
No. The Business Green Rewards Card charges no foreign transaction fee, so spending abroad earns at the same rate as at home, minus what the merchant adds.
