Pros & Cons

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

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)

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.

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.
