    Editorial take: Blue Business Cash Card from American Express

    The cash-back twin of the Blue Business Plus. Same 2% catch-all up to $50K/year, but you get automatic statement credit instead of Membership Rewards points. Simpler for businesses that don't want to manage a points balance; less ceiling than the Plus for transfer-partner redemptions.

    Editorial take: Wyndham Rewards Earner Card
