If you just got an Amex Business Platinum, start with my You Just Got an Amex Platinum, Here are 20 Things to Do (and 3 Not to Do).
Disclaimer: I am not compensated by Amex for use of this or any other Amex link on this blog.
Now let’s continue at 21, referencing the Amex Business Platinum Card Benefits:
21. Get 10 Gogo Flight Passes per calendar year with the Gogo Preferred Program. Primary cardholder and each authorized user all get 10.
22. Take a look at other Business Platinum-specific benefits such as FX International Payments and OPEN Forum.
23. Choose your OPEN Savings benefit of 5% cashback or 2 additional points/dollar at opensavings.com.
24. Study OPEN Savings partner discounts to see if any are useful to you. These include Barnes & Noble, FedEx, Hertz, HP and 1-800-Flowers. Unfortunately, several good partners have been lost in recent years.
25. I said to almost never use points for anything but airline transfers, however it is worth pointing out, especially in a business context, that there is a 30% pay with point rebate when booking air travel. It is limited to one airline and is the same as you annually choose for the $200 airline fee credit. Must book through Amex Travel which may not have the cheapest prices.

@Steve – it does, see here.
And you copied the PR link for the business card which has benefits not available to the one we signed up for
@MSer – many people with initials MS are so angry, if I ever have kids I will avoid those in choosing a name. Maybe you didn’t notice there is no application link to the card in the post? No “Apply Here!” That might clue you in to that I do not have credit card affiliate relationships. Since there was not an application link in the post I did not add an extra disclaimer, however I have now added that to clear up confusion for those who leap to conclusions. As to your accusation regarding PR firms, that too is incorrect.… Read more »
Nope, you didn’t miss copying anything from the PR spiel that the afilliate company gave you to pimp the card.
