Well, that is the exactly question I have. Any inputs? Ours is a small IT development company with one contractor working from UK. Other than that, we may spend for office equipment for now.

I recently received both the BRG and the Biz Platinum cards but for different purposes. The BRG 3x points is a great incentive for us. We do a little over $100k per year in domestic shipping with FedEx and USPS so that was a simple 3x points choice to make on our end. 

The Platinum card I got for large purchases (1.5x points on purchases over $5000) and the travel points / perks. We're planning to purchase a company car and I will use the card for that and pay that off with the loan we have lined up. That one purchase alone will earn me about 52,500 points ($35,000 car) plus the 75,000 point sign up bonus for a total of 127,500 points. The BRG we hit the $5k spend in less than a week. Roughly 10k points for purchases and 50k point bonus comes to another 60k points on top. LOVING the Amex biz perks....
