Editor's Review: The Starwood Preferred Guest® Business Credit Card from American Express OPEN is an outstanding credit card for small business owners with good credit who frequently stay at Starwood hotels and resorts.

Cardholders earn one point for every dollar spent on the card and double points from purchases made at participating Starwood properties and retail outlets. Points in the Starwood rewards program can be redeemed for free hotel stays as well as airline travel.

One of the most attractive features about this rewards program is the ability of cardholders to transfer points to a variety of different frequent flyer programs. The annual fee of $65 is waived the first year.

Cardholders earn 10,000 Starpoints with their first purchase made with the card - enough for a free night at hotels such as the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco or the Le Meridien Cambridge-MIT. Cardholders can also earn an additional 15,000 bonus Starpoints for spending $15,000 within 6 months.

All in all, the Starwood Preferred Guest® Business Credit Card from American Express OPEN is one of the most unique, feature laden business credit cards currently in the marketplace.
