American Express has been busy with its product refreshes and updates. Last month, American Express refreshed both consumer and business versions of their coveted Platinum card. Now, they’ve added a brand new benefit to their Business Gold Card. Effective immediately, Business Gold Card customers can now enjoy a brand new $150 credit.

American Express adds new Squarespace Credit

Squarespace helps you build and manage websites with a host of different tools. Customers can select different packages based on their needs. Depending on the package you want to select, you can add additional features like content management, payment processing, marketing tools and much more.

In addition to Squarespace, the credit will also apply to purchases you make with Acuity Scheduling. Acuity scheduling is a tool similar to Calendly, which helps to you share your availability with potential clients so that they can book an appointment.

What you need to know

• You must enroll before making a purchase. You can earn up to a maximum of $150 in credits each calendar year per account. Unlike other credits with American Express, this benefit is not broken up into multiple time frames. It’s a simple $150 per calendar year from January 1 to December 31.
• Employee cardholders’ purchases also count, but irrespective of how many employee cards you have, you get a maximum of $150 per calendar year in total for the account.
• As per the terms and conditions, your credit will only work if you make a purchase directly with squarespace.com or acuityscheduling.com in the US & US territories. Purchases made via third parties, electronic wallets, or mobile readers won’t qualify. It may take up to 6-8 weeks for the credit to post to your account

• If you go for the cheapest plan with Squarespace, you’ll end up paying $192 for the year. After the $150 credit, you net out of pocket cost be just $42 for the entire year. You can have a look at all the details of each plan here.
• Acuity also has a similar pricing structure to Squarespace. You can have a look at the details of each of their individual plans here.

• Acuity’s pricing is similar to Squarespace’s if you look at the basic plan. Let’s say you start with the base level plans for both. You’ll end up paying $384 for the year. After the $150 credit, your net cost out pocket comes to just $234 per year, which is about $20 per month. $20 per month out of pocket is a great deal for getting access to both SquareSpace and Acuity at the same time.

The Pundit’s Mantra

Overall, I really think that this is a very useful benefit for small businesses. As someone who has worked for and built a business from scratch, I can definitely find good use of software that helps me book client appointments and build a slick website, in addition to having all the relevant tools like SEO, Marketing and payment processing.
