Considerations
Annual fee. Many cardholders won't be able to justify the annual fee in the years after. It is crucial that you examine your business spending and how frequently you stay in Mariott Hotels to determine if you will earn enough points and take advantage of enough of the benefits for the annual fee to be worth paying. There are business cards that offer rewards on purchases without charging an annual fee. (See also: The 5 Best Credit Cards with No Annual Fees)
Who This Card Is Best For
Because of the many hotel and business benefits, the Marriott Bonvoy Business™ American Express® Card is ideal for small business owners who frequently travel and stay in Marriott Hotels. It is also best for those who spend and earn enough to cover the annual fee after the first free year.
