CHAMBER PARTNERS WITH AMERICAN EXPRESS TO PROVIDE MEMBERS BUSINESS CREDIT CARDS

The Stamford Chamber has arranged with American Express to provide members a choice of two business credit cards to earn rewards for their business spending and improve their record keeping. Chamber members can choose either the AMEX Business Gold Rewards Card or the AMEX Simply CashSM Business Card, each with its own special advantages. AMEX is the leading business card in the USA and is the only card accepted at Costco. It is accepted universally, especially in the Tri-state area.
