What the Critics Are Saying...
- Barry Choi, Money We HaveMy American Express Business Platinum Canada review is positive. The card comes with an incredible sign up bonus when using a referral link and it comes with enough travel benefits that it makes my list of the best travel credit cards in Canada.
- MoneyGeniusThe American Express Business Platinum Card has earned 2.8 stars with our rating system. It gained points for having a decent array of perks and benefits, as well as a generous welcome bonus. Unfortunately, this business card lost points for having an exceptionally high annual fee, a very high spend...
- Mohamed Konate, My Rate CompassThe American Express Platinum card is ideal for business owners who have a high spending volume, travel a lot and have ample cash flow. If you’re none of those things, or simply want a more basic credit card, then consider one of AMEX’s other travel credit cards or another credit card issuer.
- Canadian KilometersThe American Express Business Platinum card is a fantastic addition to any wallet. This card has the highest signup bonus in Canada, which by itself already makes it one card you should get. For anyone who likes luxury travel, applying should be a no-brainer.
- Jayce, PointsNerdPersonally, I find this card to be irresistible based on the huge sign-up bonus as well as the other benefits of the card.
