AMEX Business Gold points calculator
Input your monthly and yearly business expenses into the AMEX Business Gold Point Calculator to find out how much you can earn. Compare the results side by side up to two credit cards from any issuer.
Any spend entered into the primary card column (the first column) will carry over to all credit card calculators on the site, so there's no need to re-enter spend when viewing other credit cards.
Note: The calculator calculates the 40K bonus only once $80K in spend has been hit for the full 40K bonus points due to the calculator being based off 12-month or annual spending.
