Supporting your business
Growing businesses need cash and greater flexibility to manage it. The American Express® Business Platinum Card gives you up to 54 days to pay your balance¹, optimising your cash flow. And, unlike a credit card, it's a Charge Card, so you repay the full balance each month - and since you're not using a credit card, you won't be charged interest. The Card also has no pre-set spending limit, giving you greater purchasing power to help you do business daily and help when you need to make larger item purchases.
Earn an extra 10,000 Membership Rewards® points when you spend over £10,000 on your Card in one month. Hit this spending goal every month and you could enjoy up to 120,000 additional points per year, which can get you three years of Spotify premium to enjoy throughout the office and receive £150 statement credit every year to spend with Dell Technologies.
