The new Card features 3x the points on business essentials and a suite of benefits designed for how today's business owners live and work
TORONTO, Oct. 16, 2019 /CNW/ - Today, American Express Canada announces the launch of the American Express Business Edge Card, a ground-breaking new business credit card designed to meet the unique spending and business needs of Canadian entrepreneurs. From earning rewards on a wide range of business essentials, to the spending power to help them grow, the new Card backs business owners for the way they do business every day.
With the American Express Business Edge Card, business owners earn three times the points on a variety of business purchases, including office supplies and electronics, rides and gas, and eats and drinks, giving them the opportunity to earn rewards based on where they already spend for their business - whether it's on ridesharing, team lunches, office supplies or laptops and phones.
The Card also offers Cardmembers the choice, convenience and flexibility to redeem points on what matters to them most, whether that's business trips, personal travel, employee gift cards, or statement credits to offset business expenses.
"We know a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work for today's small business owners," said Paul Roman, Vice President and General Manager, Global Commercial Services, American Express Canada. "Every business is unique, and this Card reflects that. With this launch, we're backing business owners by offering them a Card that supports their evolving cash flow needs while truly rewarding them for the way they do business every day."
American Express Business Edge Cardmembers can earn up to 42,000 Bonus Points in the first year. The Card also offers a suite of business expense management tools and resources to help business owners stay on track, so they can focus on what matters most.
