Costs & Pricing
| Metric | Delta SkyMiles® Gold Business American Express Card | BILL Divvy Card |
|---|---|---|
| Annual fee | $0 intro year 1, then $150 (first year of Card Membership only) | $0 |
| Employee card fee | $0 (CMA: Annual Fee for Additional Cards: None) | $0; unlimited physical and virtual cards |
| Purchase APR | 19.49%–28.49% variable (Prime + 12.74% to Prime + 21.74%); placement by creditworthiness at account opening. APRs accurate as of 09/02/2026. No 0% intro. | N/A — charge card. Pay Amount Due in full. No purchase APR published. Marketing “0%” is charge-card float, not an intro APR. |
| Intro APR (purchases) | Not offered | Not offered |
| Foreign transaction fee | $0 | Not $0. WebBank agreement (as of 6 Mar 2025): Foreign Currency Transaction Fee billed at cost, up to 25 bps; Cross Border Transaction Fee at cost, up to 135 bps. Combined theoretical cap ≈ 1.60% if both apply. Other issuers may differ — see your Cardholder Agreement. Foreign spend also earns no rewards. NerdWallet 0% listings are superseded. |

Rewards & Value
| Metric | Delta SkyMiles® Gold Business American Express Card | BILL Divvy Card |
|---|---|---|
| Base earn rate | 1 SkyMile per $1 eligible purchases | Everything Else (eligible): 1.5x weekly/daily/prepaid; 1x semi-monthly; 1x monthly. Official cash value uses dollar examples — 100,000 pts = $520 cash (0.52¢/pt), $510 gift cards, $490 statement credit. Issuer copy that says “0.0052 cents/point” conflicts; use the dollar examples. Weekly 1.5x everything else ≈ 0.78% cash. |
| Welcome bonus | Conflict across official pages. Delta business-cards page: limited-time 90,000 bonus miles after $6,000 eligible purchases in the first 6 months — offer ends November 4, 2026. Amex product page (same period): evergreen-style 60,000 after $4,000 in the first 6 months with no end date. Treat 90k/$6k through 11/4/2026 as the live limited-time public offer; 60k/$4k as the fallback. Apply-flow T&Cs win. | Not offered on live public product pages (official rewards page and NerdWallet, Apr 2026). No spend threshold, no once-per-lifetime language, no offer expiration. |
| Redemption value | Pay with Miles = 1.0¢ ($50 off per 5,000 miles on delta.com). Award travel is dynamic; TakeOff 15 improves award pricing ~15% on Delta-operated flights only (not partner-operated, not taxes/fees). Do not assume transfer-partner value — this card does not transfer. | Cash back (ACH or check, ~15 business days): 100,000 pts = $520 (0.52¢). Gift cards (Tango, 3–5 days): $510 (0.51¢). Statement credit: $490 (0.49¢). Partner travel cited by NerdWallet/Bankrate at 1¢/pt is not quantified on the current official rewards page — secondary / verify in-product. Weekly 7x restaurants on the first $5k ≈ 3.64% cash if rules are met. |
| Transfer partners | None. Currency is Delta SkyMiles, not Membership Rewards. No transfer-out to other airlines. Miles do not expire under Delta’s published policy; Delta may still deactivate an account and remove miles. | Not offered |
Credit & Eligibility
| Metric | Delta SkyMiles® Gold Business American Express Card | BILL Divvy Card |
|---|---|---|
| Personal guarantee | Required in substance. CMA: Basic Card Member and Company remain jointly and severally liable for all charges. Quote the live application before publishing a legal excerpt. | Conflict. BILL blog (2 Sep 2026): does not require a personal guarantee; owner is not personally liable. WebBank agreement: if the entity fails to pay, the individual signing personally guarantees all amounts owed. BBB complaints include users told no PG then collected as guarantors. Marketing ≠ agreement — quote the customer’s actual Card Agreement. |
| Credit check | Know if you're approved with no impact on your personal credit score until acceptance. Business credit may be impacted on submit. Accepting the card may impact personal credit. Treated as a hard pull on accept in industry practice; Amex does not print “hard pull” on the marketing page. | Official Application FAQ: soft inquiry on the business and the authorized signer. We don't do a hard inquiry. Application collects estimated personal credit score of the signer, SSN or passport, DOB, residential address. |
| Employee cards | $0 additional-card fee. Spend controls / alerts marketed; Account Manager role can add cards, pay, review transactions. Hard cap on number not disclosed on this product page — do not invent 99 unless the application states it. | Unlimited physical + virtual. Admin budgets and controls; freeze/unfreeze; MCC / merchant / amount policies on custom-limit virtual cards. Liability sits on the business account (and, if the WebBank clause applies, the signer after entity default). |
| Product type | Revolving small-business credit card (published purchase APR, ADB interest, minimum-payment rule). Not a charge card. Not a corporate / net-terms spend platform. | Corporate charge card + spend-management platform. Full balance due each billing cycle; no revolving APR on public product pages. Credit is a business line used via physical/virtual cards with budgets. Official page also offers variable, fixed, and secured credit-line types. Not a consumer card. |
Pros & Cons
Delta SkyMiles® Gold Business American Express Card
Pros
- $0 year-1 fee then $150 — lowest annual fee in the Delta business lineup
- 1st checked bag free worldwide + 2nd bag free domestic (2026 add) can offset the AF in a few team trips
- 2X on uncapped restaurants plus capped U.S. shipping and U.S. digital/TV/radio ads
- $0 foreign-transaction fee and $0 employee cards (employee spend feeds the $10k flight-credit threshold)
- TakeOff 15 reduces Delta-metal award cost 15%
Cons
- Ongoing $150 AF with credits that are conditional, portal-locked, or enrollment-gated after renewal
- Miles are Delta-only — no Membership Rewards transfers
- No lounge, no GE/PreCheck credit, thinner insurance than Platinum/Reserve Business
- No 0% intro APR; carrying a balance is expensive (19.49%–28.49% as of 09/02/2026)
- Personal guarantee / joint and several liability; advertising 2X is MCC-narrow (media providers, not any marketing vendor)
BILL Divvy Card
Pros
- $0 annual and per-card fees with unlimited physical/virtual cards
- Real budget locks, vendor virtual cards, AI receipt matching, and two-way ERP sync in the free Spend & Expense software
- Headline earn can be high on weekly dining/hotel spend inside the first $5k/month (official table)
- Soft-pull application; reports to SBFE for business-credit building
- Visa Signature primary auto-rental CDW on business rentals; AP customers can pay vendors on the card with $0 BILL transaction fee
Cons
- Charge card: miss a due date and you get a late fee (2.99% or $38) plus freeze/default risk, not a revolver
- Rewards are operationally fragile: 30% of line, 12-month lock, 5,000-pt minimum, ~0.5¢ cash value, first-$5k bonus window
- Foreign spend: FTF + no points
- PG language conflict between BILL marketing and the WebBank agreement / complaint file
- No welcome bonus, no travel-credit stack, no transfer partners; Trustpilot on bill.com is weak (1.7/5)
Verdict
Delta SkyMiles® Gold Business American Express Card
This is the low-fee Delta business cobrand — not personal Delta Gold (supermarkets 2X), not Platinum/Reserve Business, and not Amex Business Gold (MR). Confirm the live apply-flow welcome (90k/$6k through 11/4/2026 on Delta vs 60k/$4k still on Amex’s product URL). Skip it if you will not fly Delta, want transferable points, need 0% float, or refuse a PG.
BILL Divvy Card
This is a charge card + free Spend & Expense, not a 2% cash daily driver and not paid BILL AP/AR. Size the line to spend so the 30% rule is reachable. Confirm the live Card Agreement on personal guarantee — WebBank makes the signer a guarantor if the company does not pay. Skip it if you need to revolve, spend abroad, or cash out a simple flat rate in year one.
