Last week, Barclays co-branded business cards came out with elevated bonus offers. If you own a small business, these cards are a great way to earn extra miles and points without affecting your Chase 5/24 count. Let’s take a look.
Note: None of these are affiliate links. Offers subject to change. Refer to our current credit card offer page.
AAdvantage Aviator World Elite Business Mastercard
The AAvantage Aviator Business card (non-affiliate link) is an excellent way to get a stash of American Airlines miles.
- Earn 80,000 miles after spending $2000 in the first 90 days
- $95 statement credit
- Free checked bag for you and up to 4 traveling companions
- Preferred boarding
- No foreign transaction fees.
- 2x miles on AA purchases
- 2X miles at office supply, telecom and car rental merchants
- 1X miles on all other purchases
- $95 annual fee
I own this card, and I’ve kept it because of the free AA bag benefits.
Note: Existing and previous cardmembers who have closed an account in the past 24 months are not eligible.
JetBlue Business Card
The JetBlue business card also currently offers 80,000 bonus points.
- 80,000 TrueBlue points after spending $2000 in the first 90 days
- $99 statement credit
- Free checked bag for you and 3 traveling companions
- 5000 bonus points on card anniversary
- 6X points on JetBlue purchases
- 2X points at restaurants and office supply stores
- 1X points on all other purchases
- No foreign transaction fees
- $99 annual fee
The cool thing about TrueBlue points is that you can pool them with family members to make award booking easier. The points worth like Southwest–you can redeem them for any flight, and the award cost depends on the cash price.
Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Business Mastercard
The Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Business Mastercard (non-affiliate link) has a bonus worth up to 90,000 miles.
- Earn 50,000 miles after spending $2000 in the first 90 days
- Earn 40,000 additional miles after spending a total of $8000 in the first 12 months
- 50% companion discount for round-trip flight in coach between North America and Hawaii
- 3X miles on Hawaiian Airlines purchases
- 2X miles on gas, dining and office supply stores
- 1X miles on all other purchases
- No foreign transaction fees
- $99 annual fee
Hawaiian airlines also allows family pooling of miles, and your miles never expire. If I lived on the West Coast of the U.S., this card would be at the top of my list.
Wyndham Rewards Earner Business Card
The Wyndham Rewards Earner Business Card (non-affiliate link) has a bonus worth up to 75,000 points.
- 65,000 bonus points after spending $2000 in the first 90 days
- 10,000 more bonus points after a purchase is made on an employee card
- 8X points at Wyndham hotels
- 8X points on gas
- 5X points on marketing, advertising and utilities
- 1X points on all other purchases
- 15,000 bonus points each anniversary year
- Automatic diamond-level benefits
- No foreign transaction fees
- $95 annual fee
The lowest tier Wyndham hotels cost 7500 points, so you could get 10 free hotel nights from this bonus. Leana uses Wyndham points for Vacasa vacation rentals (see her latest post here).
Are you thinking about beefing up your miles stash with one of these cards?

We have Southwest Companion Pass so usually fly Southwest domestically. Is there a good use of AA, Jetblue or Hawaiian airline miles for international flights? When I checked AA to Europe for example, the taxes and fees are huge. Even Jetblue to London required a lot of miles. Thoughts?
@Marta AA miles are good for international flights EXCEPT when it routes you on British Airways. That’s when you will see those huge taxes and fees. We used AA miles to fly on Qantas to Australia a few years ago. I use AA for domestic flights and have gotten great deals with their Web Special Awards, but I am based in an AA hub (DFW).
