American Express Business Gold Rewards offers bonus points in five categories. The cardholder chooses one of the categories to earn 3 points per dollar, the others earn 2 points per dollar:


Business Gold Rewards Card Choice/321
With your Business Gold Rewards Card from American Express, you earn at least one Membership RewardsŪ point for each dollar you spend on your Card for eligible purchases. For the first $100,000 in eligible spending in each calendar year in each of the five categories specified below, you can earn additional points, as follows: you can earn: (1) 2 additional points (for a total of 3 points) in one category of your choice from the five categories specified below; and (2) 1 additional point (for a total of 2 points) in the remaining four categories.

The five categories are:
(1) airfare on a scheduled flight charged directly with passenger airlines (charter flights and private jet flights are excluded);
(2) advertising purchased in the U.S. to promote your business online, on television, or on the radio;
(3) gasoline at gas stations located in the U.S. (superstores, supermarkets and warehouse clubs that sell gasoline are not considered gas stations);
(4) shipping services purchased in the U.S. for courier, postal, and freight;
(5) computer hardware, software, and cloud computing purchases in the U.S. made directly from select providers. (The current list of select computer hardware, software, and cloud computing providers is available at: americanexpress.com/rewards-info.)

Eligible purchases in excess of $100,000 in the applicable category in a calendar year will earn only one point for each dollar spent on eligible purchases.You may select the category in which to earn 3X points within the first two months of becoming a Card Member. Thereafter, you can change your selection only once during the annual selection period which runs from December 1st to January 31st each year. You can only change your category once annually. You can make your category selection by either calling the number on the back of your Card or going to open.com/businessgold. If you do not make a selection during the initial enrollment period, you will receive 3X points on airfare purchased directly from airlines. If you do not change your election during the annual selection period, your category will remain the same as the previous year. Only the Basic Card Member or Authorized Account Manager with Full Access may make the selection and their selection will apply to purchases made by all Card Members on the account.Eligible purchases are purchases for goods and services minus returns and other credits. Eligible purchases do NOT include fees or interest charges, balance transfers, cash advances, purchases of travelers checks, purchases or reloading of prepaid cards, or purchases of other cash equivalents. Additional terms and restrictions apply.Merchants are assigned codes based on what they primarily sell. A purchase will not earn additional points if the merchant's code is not eligible. Purchases made through third-parties (including resellers and online marketplaces) or through a third-party payment account will not earn additional points. A purchase may not earn additional points if the merchant submits the purchase using a mobile or wireless card reader or if you use a mobile or digital wallet.
Membership Rewards transfer directly to Delta (1000:1000) and can be used for travel on American or United by redeeming through alliance partners. See Wikipost at top of this thread:
