American Express is removing the valuable monthly bonus on the Business Platinum card after March 31, 2026, replacing it with travel credits and other restricted benefits that don't match the lost value. Business owners who were earning 240,000 Membership Rewards points annually will now face a net loss of around £260 compared to the previous structure. We break down the math on these changes, evaluate whether the £650 annual fee is still justified, and discuss your options—from downgrading to Business Gold to switching to alternative cards like Capital on Tap. If you hold this card or were considering it, this devaluation significantly changes the value proposition.Subscribe to Smart With Points 👉🏼 https://smartwithpoints.com/.
