Pros
The Business Platinum Credit Card gives business travelers access to over 1,000 clubs worldwide including Delta Sky Clubs, Centurion lounges, and Airspace Lounges, which will be a great welfare for those business travelers. Additionally, they can also get a $200 credit when making purchases on airline incidentals, like the fees of checking baggage.
Cons
The Business Platinum Card requires a higher annual fee which will not be a good fit for businesses who don’t spend so much operating expenses. Meanwhile, keep in mind that this is a charge card, which means that you need to pay it in full each month.
Summary
The Business Platinum Credit Card can be an excellent choice for business travelers who have many expenses on airport lounges even with the $45 annual fee a year.
