Amex card + Cyprus LTD

Not open for further replies.
Hi! I have heard that it is possible to open a personal Amex card, link it with Cyprus Ltd (if you have one) and get points to travel for free. Could someone explain how it works in practice? How a Cyprus Ltd can still have the expenses for ads make tax deductible?

I dont understand exactly how it works and if it is completely legal.

If the expenses are linked to the business operation of the Cyprus co then they can be deductible.

It works that way that you can pay business expenses be cash, personal account etc. It does not really matter how you pay. But it matters what you pay.



If the expenses are legitimate business expenses, you use your personal card or bank account to pay and then you pay yourself back from the company account.

Do you know which card you want to get? There are many American Express cards. You may check with local banks and European banks what they offer.
 
Can I apply for a Amex busienss card if I have the Cyprus company but not live in Cyprus ?

I think you can apply as self-employed even. You can then still use the card for your Limited, just note that in case of a bankruptcy, you will be personally liable for the credit card debt.



But again. The main question is what card you actually want to get. There are many, many cards which give you cashback or miles and there are long discussions on Reddit which one fits whom when best alone with US cards. Unless OP knows what he wants, I would recommend him a generic cashback card.

I want a card where I earn points / rewards when I spend money and reading here I think Amex matchs this?

There are thousands of cards that match this. Do you know what you spend money (online ads as OP or just your daily travel expenses)? Do you have any relation to Belarus? I am asking as this would make things much more complicated usually.
 
No relation to Belarus, just funny nick, I use the card for travel spending, but it's not much a year only 30,000 euros still good to earn points I think.

Then, you need a card with best cashback on travel spend. Citi Strata Permier would be a solid option in this case. If you have a SSN, Wells Fargo Autograph. Bank of America Travel Rewards in combination with their Preferred Platinum Honors program would work too.
