Is the American Express Business Green Rewards worth its $95 annual fee?
Short answer: the Amex Business Green Rewards has no statement credits to reach, so its $95 fee has to be earned by perks and by the points it earns. Whether that clears $95 depends entirely on how often you use them.
A $95 business card with no statement credits to audit. Here is what the fee buys instead, and how Worth My Fee prices each piece against your own charges.
$95 to cover, and no credits to do it with
