Final Day for Limited-Time Bonus on Single Most Rewarding Card for Everyday Spend

When the The Blue Business℠ Plus Credit Card from American Express was first launched a little over a year ago it offered an initial bonus. That was for a brief time.

Mostly there's been no initial bonus because earning on the card is so powerful: two Membership Rewards points per dollar (on the first $50,000 in purchases each year, one point after that). This is the best most rewarding card for otherwise-unbonused spend.

Back in early July applications relaunched and they did so with the biggest-ever offer of 60,000 miles after $5000 spend within 3 months. These can be spent at a penny apiece towards travel, and when you redeem for travel you get a 5% rebate on points.
