Blue for Business was removed from American Express website when Blue Business Plus was introduced. The offer from March 2017 is still HERE, but the [Apply] button redirects to Blue Business Plus.

A copy of the terms of the March 2017 offer is attached to THIS post.

Correct, but it was also a first year only feature of the legacy Blue for Business card beginning in late 2016, see HERE. It may be that American Express tested this feature on Blue for Business before rolling out Blue Business Plus.

By itself.

But on the late 2016 through early 2017 offer for the old Blue For Business card, it was one of three benefits for the first year:

2x on all purchases (with a spend cap) for a year
10x on restaurants (with a spend cap) for 6 months
30% annual bonus

Btw, these were combinable. Basically, after getting the card in mid-Jan 2017, I used it just for restaurants for half a year, I got 11x on those restaurants (2x = 1x bonus, 10x = 9x bonus, so both = 1 + 1 + 9 = 11), plus a couple weeks ago I got 30% on the (non-bonus) points from those purchases last year.

Well, there was even more stacking involved:

(in the iDine/Rewards Networks forum)

since I mostly dine at Rewards Networks participating restaurants.
