How to Apply for an American Express TrueEarnings Business Credit Card

American Express and Costco have teamed up to offer you, the potential cardholder, a credit card that is the perfect compliment to your Costco membership. The American Express TrueEarnings Business credit card maintains a $0 annual fee and a number of amazing discounts such as 4% cash back on gasoline purchases at Costco fueling stations, 2% cash back at U.S. restaurants, 2% cash back on eligible travel purchases, and 1% cash back on all other Costco purchases. You could remove the last three benefits and leave the 4% cash back on gas purchases and the card would warrant a 5/5 review. Add the other benefits and this card is a definite must have for anyone who has a Costco membership. Now, here comes the bad part…this card is going to be discontinued as of March 31st, 2016 which means you only have a minimal amount of time to reap the rewards that are available.
