Rewards

The Wells Fargo Business Platinum Credit Card has a strange setup. It can earn either cash back or points. To get the $500 bonus you have to enroll in cashback. After that you will earn 1.5% cash back on all your purchases.

If you want to keep the card long term then points are the better option. Remember, you do not get the signup bonus if you select points. There’s a few requirements to maximize the value of points, but you could get up to 3.2 cents per point.

The card earns 1 point per dollar. But you get 1,000 bonus points when you spend $1,000 in a monthly billing period. That makes it 2X everywhere if you spend exactly $1,000 every month. The redemption value for each option is not stated, but there’s an option to use 25,000 points for one trip coach standard airfare of up to $400 in the 48 contiguous United States. That’s a maximum value of 1.6 cents per point and 3.2X everywhere.
