Editorial take: Delta SkyMiles Gold Business Amex

A practical pick for small businesses that fly Delta. The free checked bag and priority boarding are the real perks; the 2x earning is merely okay.

Editorial take: TAP Miles and Go American Express Card

The only US co-branded card for a European Star Alliance carrier. Useful if you fly TAP to Lisbon or onward Europe several times a year, since the lounge passes, free extra bag, and Premium Boarding can each be worth more than the $79 annual fee on a single transatlantic trip.
