American Express Platinum Corporate Card

American Express issues the Platinum Corporate Card to companies for their proprietors, partners and senior employees to separate and track business spend. It has no joining fee, a flat ₹40,000 + GST annual/renewal fee (borne by the company under the corporate card programme), and earns 1 Membership Rewards point per ₹40 spent on most business categories, with reward points on utilities capped. It suits an established small business or firm rather than a first-time applicant, since Amex sets up the account under a corporate agreement rather than a purely individual application.
