Blue Business Plus fees breakdown
Annual Fee
The AMEX Blue Business Plus Card has a $0 annual fee. See Rates & Fees
This is one of the best credit cards AMEX offers and it pairs well with pretty much every business (and personal) Membership Rewards credit card. I highly recommend picking it up if your business spends less than $50K per year or if you're looking to pair it with other cards to maximize the points earned on miscellaneous purchases.
Authorized User Fee
There is no fee to add additional users to the AMEX Blue Business Plus Card. Adding employee cards can help you earn points faster.
Foreign Transaction Fee
The AMEX Blue Business Plus Card has a 2.7% foreign transaction fee. That makes this a bad option when it comes to earning rewards on international travel and spending.
