2026-11-09$250$3,000 in 3 moTerms reconfirmedFreshness-rotation reconfirmation: most current coverage still lists a $250 statement credit after $3,000 in 3 months as the standard public offer. One October 14 report described a targeted $500-after-$5,000 offer, but it was not corroborated by a second independent source, so the public baseline here is left unchanged.Archive record · no attached snapshot

Where it costs you

  • −$50k cap, then 1%

The Compound Verdict

Pick this over the Blue Business Plus only if you truly want cash instead of points. Same 2% structure, same $50k cap, same $0 fee. For most readers the points version compounds harder, but as a set-and-forget business cash card this is hard to beat.
