The Business Platinum Card® from American Express is one of the more expensive credit cards on the market, featuring a $895 annual fee and a host of benefits and statement credits. However, the card offers a unique 35% Airline Bonus, which allows Business Platinum cardholders to choose an airline for this special bonus each year when they Pay with Points in the Amex Travel portal. This bonus can be earned at a base rate of 1.54 cents per point on your chosen airline, up to a limit of 1 million points per year. Booking through AmEx Travel and choosing "Pay with Points" can make a difference, as compared to booking flights through Amex. The earnings from the airline vary considerably depending on the airline's status.
