Your call

Before you apply for the Blue Business® Plus Credit Card

  1. Treat an eligible welcome offer as first-year value only, separately from ongoing rewards. Review spend requirements and account eligibility.
  2. Confirm business eligibility, employee-card fees and any personal-guarantee requirements.
  3. Compare the current purchase APR and consider how reliably you can pay the statement balance in full. Interest can outweigh rewards.
