I’ve been collecting points and miles on travel credit cards<\/a> for nearly two decades, and I hear a common refrain when talking with friends and family members about the topic. “Why would I ever pay an annual fee<\/a> on a credit card?”<\/p>\n

Longtime readers know the answer to this question, but I still find that so many just can’t get past the idea of paying for a credit card.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, there are plenty of great no-annual-fee cards<\/a> out there \u2014 and for small-business owners, there’s one that stands above the rest: The Blue Business\u00ae Plus Credit Card from American Express<\/a><\/span> (see rates and fees<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Here’s why this card remains firmly in my wallet.<\/p>\n

Flexible Membership Rewards points<\/h2>\n

Many card issuers allow you to pool your points when you have multiple cards in their respective ecosystems. However, this usually means that your no-annual-fee options require higher-end cards to maximize their value. Case in point:<\/p>\n

You’re limited to cash-back redemption options if you don’t have a higher-tier card.<\/p>\n

That is not true for the Blue Business Plus.<\/p>\n
