Barclays GM Business Mastercard is a no-annual-fee points card from Barclays. Its best everyday rates are 7x on GM; everything else earns 3x. Rewards are General Motors points that only spend inside that program, so we value them at roughly a third of a cent each.
On our reference budget of $73,200 a year it returns about $732, an effective 1% back. The welcome bonus, 100,000 points after $5,000 in 5 months, is the strongest reason to open it in a given year.
Keep business spending on it for the separate statement alone; the rewards are the extra. Check the issuer's other business card before deciding, since the categories differ more than the fees do. It charges 3% on foreign purchases, so leave it home when you travel abroad.
