Running a small business can be a tough proposition, especially when the funds have not yet come in, in order to make that next big leap that will keep your revenues growing. OPEN from American Express is committed to partnering with small-business entrepreneurs in order to provide them with the funds they need to grow their businesses. One of the options available to small businesses from OPEN American Express is the Business Green Rewards Card.



The Business Green Rewards Card automatically takes some of the load off the mind of the small-business owner, as the annual fee of $95 is waived for the entire first year that you have the Card. There is no preset spending limit or finance charge and applicants have the option of selecting an extended payment option.

The Business Green Rewards Card offers the most comprehensive access to the rewards program that American Express offers. Just on approval of your application, you automatically receive 5000 bonus point on your card. In addition, you'll receive a point for virtually every dollar you spend. Combined with the savings you can receive from other companies participating in the rewards program such as AT&T, Hertz, 1-800-FLOWERS and FedEx, you can see how using this Business Rewards Card will not only help to grow your business, but save money in the process. Keep in mind the reward points never expire, and that there is no limit to the points you can earn. This comes in very handy when your business involves travel, as reward points quickly accumulate and can be put towards business expenses such as hotels, airlines fees, and even entertainment.

Applying for a Business Green Rewards Card means that you are joining a community that includes hundreds of other small-business owners just like yourself. Through the extensive options available on the web site, you can network with other Card users in order to attract new business or for problem solving. The web site is also incredibly useful when it comes to managing your account. Track your charges, and manage your account screen to make payments. There are also customer service assistants available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in case you have any questions about your card.

Finally, Business Green Rewards Card users qualify for all of the additional programs that usage of the card brings. You may receive additional cards for any of your employees to use which are available with no annual fee. Utilizing this option will help to consolidate and control your business spending. You also have access to the customer service line, as well as qualifying for emergency services and insurance protection.
