American Express offers several different types of business credit cards. There are business cards that offer cash back, points and miles for travel as well as some that offer zero percent interest and instant approval. You use points for airline tickets, business supplies, hotels, car rentals and cruises depending on the card you choose. Check out the different business cards American Express offers and see which one is right for you.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Check out the American Express cards that offer zero percent interest. There are five of them, and they vary from giving you a couple of months to up to a year of interest-free charging. However, the interest rates after the introductory offer expires vary, so consider this in the equation when applying for an interest-free business card. None of these cards has an annual fee.

  2. Step 2

    Consider the nine American Express cards where you can get instant approval. Be careful to look at the annual fees on these cards, as only four offer no annual fee ever. They also vary in that three have zero percent introductory offers, two offer cash back, four offer points and three others offer either miles or travel bonuses. Since there are only nine cards to choose from, some of these combine more than one offer.

  3. Step 3

    Select a cash back credit card from American Express. These three business cards also have zero percent introductory offers and no annual fees. The nice thing about these cards is you can always use cash where you may not have a need for points or miles.

  4. Step 4

    Look at the three business cards that offer airline miles, if you're doing a lot of business travel. One of these cards isn't just for air travel, but can be also used for hotels, gas and car rentals; however, American Express does charge an annual fee for this card.

  5. Step 5

    Choose one of the business cards that offer points for rewards. Only two out of the five offered don't charge an annual fee, and these two cards offer a zero percent introductory offer, too.
