The limited-time offer described in this article expired in August 2018. See our details page about The Business Platinum Card® from American Express for the current offer.

Business owners who have been thinking about getting The Business Platinum Card® from American Express have a little extra motivation to take the plunge. Through Aug. 8, 2018, the high-end business travel card is offering new cardholders up to 100,000 bonus Membership Rewards points.

The full bonus is earned in two stages and requires $25,000 in spending within the first three months.

NerdWallet values Membership Rewards points at about 1 cent each, so the bonus can return $1,000 worth of value, enough to offset the annual fee of $695 for the first two years.
