Updated: December 1, 2023 | Credit Card Review The Wells Fargo Business Platinum card has an interesting reward structure. When applying you will get a choice of either a cashback version or a rewards version. With the cashback version, you will earn unlimited 1.5% cashback per $1 spent. Or, with the rewards version, you will earn 1 point on every dollar spent plus a bonus 1,000 points after your business spends $1,000 or more in a single billing cycle (the reward version is best for a business swiping on average close to a $1,000 a month as that will give you double points per dollar spent). You will need a Wells Fargo Checking account for at least 12 months in order to apply for this card.
