I called today to cancel my Chase business card, and the CS rep said Chase is offering a $50 statement credit to post in one or two statement cycles. That gives me the annual free night for $49. Since I can get greater value for that night, I kept the card for another year.
Added: The credit posted in three days and hit before I have to pay the next statement.

Hi all, I just applied for and was approved for this card, got my 15 nights in dec and hit Platinum. Still working on the SUB spend but should be good on that. One question i have is do people have any suggestion on how to best leverage the $150 advertising credit ? What kind of purchases count towards that credit ? (i'm guessing facebook and google ads would certainly count, but what other options are available?)

Any ideas on the advertising credit?
Any other AmEx offers on this business card that people are finding a good value for their business?

For those who missed it, AMEX announced a few new benefits to the card today:
- 4x on restaurants is now world wide, not just in the US
- Status is now Gold, not Silver
- 7% discount on bookings

This explains the "Amex Biz Card Member Rate" that I saw today. This is NOT an additional discount (i.e., you can't make a reservation using the AAA rate and then receive an additional seven percent off).

Yup, I saw this pop up randomly a few weeks ago and was wondering what that was about.
