Make sure the card you see offered without an annual fee is the card you actually want. American Express offers five "platinum" business cards:

CREDIT CARDS:
Platinum Business Credit Card - No fee, Membership Rewards Options
Platinum Business Membership Rewards Card - $75 fee, Membership Rewards
Platinum Business Cash Rebate Card - No fee, 1% - 5% Cash back
Platinum Business FreedomPass Credit Card - No fee, 7500 points = $100 off travel

CHARGE CARD:
Business Platinum Card - $300 fee, Membership Rewards

As you see, the four credit cards are really the same product married to different award programs, and they do not include the benefits of the charge card, such as airport lounge access, Fine Hotels & Resorts, Platinum Travel Service, etc.
