\n<\/p>\n

\n

The Ink Business Preferred\u00ae Credit Card<\/a> has been a TPG favorite since its launch in 2016, and it remains one of the best business credit cards<\/a> available. The card’s great earning structure and the ability to combine rewards with other Chase Ultimate Rewards credit cards make it a strong contender in the business credit card space.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the American Express\u00ae Business Gold Card<\/a><\/span> was revamped in 2023 and offers a unique earning structure and statement credits but also carries a higher annual fee (see rates and fees<\/a>). Let’s compare the two across several criteria to see which card might best suit your business needs.<\/p>\n
