If you fly, ever, business gold AmEx cannot be beaten. 4x points on the first $150k spent on two categories of your choice. Then, 25% off(!) flights booked with points at AmExTravel.com. I will definitely be getting the Stripe card because the intro offers are so good. But, the airfare discounts alone at AmEx Travel are so good it will continue to be my go-to corporate card.

The major difference between Brex/Stripe card and typical business cards on the market whether or not there's a personal guarantee.

Does that apply on the corporate version, here? https://www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/business/corporate-credit-cards/american-express-corporate-gold-card-amex https://www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/business/cor... I'm not super clear on the difference between business cards and corporate cards.

  Biz cards are personally guaranteed and corp cards are not.

    So a corp can get either type depending how they want the guarantee can go? Like, a regular biz card can work for corp expenses?

I’ve had to use AMEX travel several times to book flights for business reasons, and it’s always substantially more expensive than I could get if I booked it myself. Even with 25% off I’m still not certain it’s a good deal. Edit: just realized you were referring to booking with points. In that case it gets a little more hazy, who knows what the value is really worth there. But I definitely have a negative opinion of Amex travel and will avoid them if possible, at this point I just assume they’re giving me a bad deal
