Best For...
The Starwood Preferred Guest® Business Credit Card from American Express is a high value rewards card for frequent SPG® travelers.

Review of the Starwood Preferred Guest® Business Credit Card from American Express

Starwood Preferred Guest® Business Credit Card holders earn up to 5X Starpoints® on Starwood purchases, 2X on Marriott purchases, and 1X on everything else.  But with the high value of its rewards (frequently valued over 2%), even everyday purchases will reap valuable points that can be used at SPG® properties or transferred to a frequent flyer program. Although this “Free Nights & Flights” redemption program is limited to SPG® properties and participating frequent flyer programs, the rate of rewards makes it a terrific value. 

Plus, as a bonus offer, after spending $5,000 within the first 3 months, new cardholders will earn 25,000 bonus Starpoints®, which translates into enough points for a 2-night stay at most SPG® properties. 

Pro Tip:

Redeem Starpoints® for free flights on over 150 airlines with SPG Flights with no blackout dates and receive a 5,000 Starpoint bonus when you transfer 20,000 Starpoints to a participating frequent flyer program.

For frequent travelers interested in upping their SPG® elite status, card members receive credit for 5 nights and 2 stays each year toward SPG® elite status. That's just 20 nights away for SPG Gold status and 45 nights away for SPG Platinum status in a calendar year. If you spend $30,000 in a calendar year, you’ll achieve Gold status, entitling you to room upgrades when available.




The Bottom Line
The high value of Starpoints® make this card an ideal choice for frequent business travelers looking to earn free SPG® nights, enjoy free Sheraton® Club Lounge access, and reach elite SPG® privilege status faster.
