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

The Amex Business Green Rewards advertises no statement credits at all. Its $95 fee has to be earned by what is listed under “beyond the credits” below and by the points it earns on your spending. The audit values those against your own charges; on this page we can only list them.
