The verdict
On a typical year of business spending, the Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express® Card earns about $1,092 a year in rewards and the Wyndham Rewards Earner® Premier Card about $720, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent. The Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express® Card charges $125, which you clear through its rewards and perks. The Wyndham Rewards Earner® Premier Card charges $395, but carries about $220 in annual statement credits that offset it for anyone who uses them. Counting rewards, fees, and any credits, the Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express® Card delivers more total value, about $532 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it earns more where you spend most, on everything else and shipping. Neither leans on transferable points, so the deciding factors are the welcome offer, the card network, and which everyday perks you will actually use. On the sign-up bonus, the Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express® Card 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.
Pick the Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express® Card if your spending leans toward advertising, shipping, office supplies. Pick the Wyndham Rewards Earner® Premier Card if your spending leans toward travel.
