Corporate job? And entrusted with an Amex corporate card… no not an Amex business card, a corporate card? – You are eligible for statement credits on select personal cards!
Get up to $150 in annual statement credit on each eligible card. Cards include the Amex Platinum, Amex Gold, and Amex Green personal cards. You can also get a statement credit on the Blue Cash Preferred card. There are also data points that people have received statement credits for non-vanilla Platinum cards including their Charles Schwab Platinum. I presume you can also get credits on multiple of the same cards. Here is the Amex site with all the details (PDF warning).
| Personal Card | Annual Statement Credit |
| Personal Platinum | $150 |
| Personal Gold | $100 |
| Personal Green | $75 |
| Blue Cash Preferred | $50 |
How to get statement credits for eligible cards?
I personally think using the Amex chat feature is the easiest. Just start a chat and mention you are looking to apply the Amex Corporate Card statement credit benefit for your eligible personal cards. And although the site makes it appear you need to open a new card for the perk, it can actually be applied to existing eligible personal cards you have already opened. The statement credit will only apply after the anniversary date and can take up to 8-12 weeks.
Don’t forget to enroll your corporate card to earn points
Additionally, you may be able to earn points from corporate card spending as well with a little bit of effort and a small fee. Surprisingly, you generally won’t automatically earn Amex Membership Rewards points with your corporate card unless you call to sign up. You will already need to have a personal or business card that earns MRs and generally have to pay a small annual fee (mine is $55/year). I also believe your employer needs to have set up the program to allow their employees to participate.
They might look the same but only the Amex Corporate Card provides the personal card statement credit benefit
