Card Highlights
The best card for teams with frequent road trips. The U.S. Travel Association estimates that a typical company can earn $3.50 in new profits for every dollar spent on business travel. Editors at InsideFlyer magazine report that their readers make an average of about 33 domestic trips per year. A team member on that kind of routine can earn your company over 25,000 Starpoints per year on hotel stays alone. With five or six team members pulling down similar schedules, your company can earn enough Starpoints in a year to earn ten $100 spa gift cards or twenty $50 iTunes gift cards.
Should you switch to SPG's American Express Card for Business?
It's hard to find a small business credit card with a stronger rewards program than the Starwood Preferred Guest Business Credit Card from American Express. Your biggest challenge will be convincing team members to use your account instead of swiping their personal travel credit cards. However, if you enroll in the Business version of Starwood Preferred Guest, your employees can earn their own rewards points while sharing your whole organization's status level. Upgraded rooms and late checkouts can help infrequent travelers feel like executives, while helping the company put more cash into payroll instead of the travel budget.
