Wells Fargo Signify Business Cash® Card

Pros

• Uncapped 2% cash on qualifying spend with $0 annual fee
• 0% intro APR on purchases for 12 months from open
• $500 cash bonus at $5,000 / 3 months — low hurdle versus many business SUBs
• Employee cards at $0 with per-card cycle caps
• Primary MasterRental CDW and $250k common-carrier accident insurance on a no-fee card; rewards do not expire while open

Cons

• 3% foreign-transaction fee
• No category bonuses; 2% loses to 3–5% advertising/shipping cards on those MCCs
• Personal guarantee is unconditional and first-recourse
• No purchase protection, extended warranty, or cell-phone insurance in the public benefits guide; Priority Pass visits are paid
• After the intro window, 16.74%–24.74% variable APR makes revolving expensive relative to 2% earn; no public BT product

Blue Business℠ Plus Credit Card

Pros

• $0 annual fee and $0 employee-card fees
• 2X Membership Rewards on the first $50,000 eligible purchases each calendar year with no category tracking
• AmexTravel.com 2X that does not consume the $50k cap
• 0% intro APR on purchases for 12 months
• Points sit in Membership Rewards and can transfer to airline/hotel partners; purchase protection and extended warranty listed on the official benefits block

Cons

• 2X layer caps at $50,000 per calendar year, then 1X
• 2.7% foreign transaction fee
• Public welcome bonus is modest versus premium Amex business cards (15k / $3k / 3 mo on compare pages)
• Joint-and-several personal liability
• No lounge, GE/TSA, trip-cancellation, or cell-phone benefits on the official list; post-intro APR band is high (16.74%–28.49% variable)

Verdict

Wells Fargo Signify Business Cash® Card

Signify Business Cash is the flat 2% SKU — not Essential/Elite (points) and not consumer Active Cash. It beats Blue Business Cash after the $50k 2% cap and beats Ink Unlimited on ongoing earn, while trailing Spark Cash Plus on FTF and NPSL. Skip it for foreign spend, transferable points, no-PG underwriting, or anyone who will revolve after month 12.

Blue Business℠ Plus Credit Card

This is the Membership Rewards twin of Blue Business Cash — same chassis, same $50k cap, same 0% intro, not cash back and not Business Gold. Confirm the live apply-flow welcome (15k standard vs targeted 25k–75k). Poor daily driver for uncapped high spend, foreign spend, or anyone who will revolve after the intro period.
