The Chase Ink Plus and the American Express Business Gold are the best bonuses on travel right now if you own a small business. Get both of these cards and you can score over 100k in points or miles and that adds up to a few free flights.
#1 Chase Business Ink Plus – 50,000 Bonus Points after $5k spend in 3 months. One of the best Business Credit Cards to own. The annual fee of $95 is waived the first year. Chase’s Ultimate Reward Points transfer to United 1:1, so you can have 50,000 United Miles. You will have enough for 2 domestic round trip tickets. Some are able to refer friends (not me for some reason) but you can get 5,000 points if they sign-up through your link.

#2 American Express Business Gold 75,000 Point Bonus after $5k spend in 3 months. Best reason to have an AMEX card right now is the offers they give you with the Twitter Sync #AMEXOFFERS. These are amazing. You may be targeted for this offer. If you are not you will have a $10k spend instead. You pay no annual fee as it is waived for the first year and is normally $175 . You have until September 29 to take advantage of this so act fast. There are so many great things to do with Membership Rewards points such as transferring them to Avios or other airline miles and they normally offer some type of bonus. You can also use MR points for Uber Rides. [www262.americanexpress.com/business-card-application/member/business-gold-charge-card/login/44446-104-1-CAPOBGRC]
