The verdict
On a typical year of business spending, the American Express Business Green Rewards Card earns about $450 a year in rewards and the Capital One Savor about $498, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent. The American Express Business Green Rewards Card charges $95, which you clear through its rewards and perks. The Capital One Savor has no annual fee, so its rewards are all profit. Counting rewards, fees, and any credits, the Capital One Savor delivers more total value, about $143 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it skips the annual fee the other charges. Both earn transferable points rather than flat cash, so the deciding factor is whose transfer partners reach the airlines and hotels you would actually book. On the sign-up bonus, the Capital One Savor currently has the larger welcome offer (a limited-time offer above its usual amount, so treat it as a one-time boost). A welcome bonus is a one-time event, so weigh it apart from the ongoing rewards.
