Absolutely! It just finished the Citi Business AA SUB so the approval could not have come at a better time.

Re: American Express Business Gold Card Approval!

Nice offer, congrats!  Though I'm curious was it a targeted offer? Because I only see the 70K for $10K spend.

Also with only $1K annual Biz Revenue how is the AF off set?
