RateBuddy Verdict

The Good
  • The extensive business and travel statement credits (Dell, Indeed, Wireless, Travel) can easily offset the entire annual fee.
  • Unrivaled airport lounge access through the Global Lounge Collection, covering over 1,400 locations worldwide.
  • Allows businesses to add up to 99 Employee Business Gold Cards for $0 annually, consolidating rewards rapidly.
The Trade-offs
  • The flat 1.25x earning rate lacks the accelerated category multipliers found on cheaper business cards.
  • Requires active tracking and utilization of the various partner credits to justify the massive $799 annual fee.
