Best AMEX for Gift Card/Travel Point Rewards?
Need an Amex for business purchases and my FIA card is going to VISA. I just don't see much out there that comes close to competing with 2% rewards.
Plum is available as statement credit at 1.5% statement credit, would rather have a card that offers gift card redemptions.

I would not use a cash back card for business purchases because the value of the rewards reduces the tax deductible value of your business expenses. (Ask your accountant.) If that's still what you prefer, click here:

American Express does not issue any card, business or personal, which pay 2% cashback on general spending.

There is no American Express business card which earns more than one point per dollar for general spending.
The Everyday Preferred card earns 1.5 Membership Rewards points per dollar in any billing cycle where you make 30+ transactions. (Higher rewards apply to supermarkets and gasoline.) Discussion here:

Memberships Rewards points value depends on how they are redeemed. Transfer to airline partners offers the highest monetary value if you use miles for expensive to tickets. Click HERE to see other valuations.
