Virtual Amex Business Cards
Today, Amex announced that eligible small business customers (American Express Business Card Members with the Business Centurion ® Card, Business Platinum Card®, American Express® Business Gold Card, American Express® Business Green Card, Business Gold Rewards Card, Business Green Rewards Card, and The Plum Card®) can now create American Express Virtual Cards through Business Blueprint™ or their online Amex account to help with spend management and recurring supplier payments.
A Virtual Card is a unique digital Card number tied to the Card Member’s eligible American Express® Business Card that offers additional controls to help manage and track spend. Virtual Cards are generated with a unique security code, expiration date and customizable spend controls, offering added security and budget control. Card Members can earn Membership Rewards® on Virtual Card transactions for their associated Business Card account, with no added cost to create, no matter the quantity, just like they would with their Business Card.
How It Works
American Express Business Card Members can create Virtual Cards through Business Blueprint or their online Business Card account and put them on file with suppliers or use them for online purchases. For example, a small business owner can set up a Virtual Card with an adjustable spending limit and controls like reset frequency, start date and “active until” date as a tool to manage the budget for supplier payment or specific business initiative.
Once created, Business Card Members can easily review how much has been spent on their Virtual Card and on what, and when Cards will expire. Business Card Members can even have their Virtual Cards reset with adjustable spending limits and controls like reset frequency, start date and “active until” date, which is great for recurring payments.
