The single best, new opportunity to earn points right now is with a no-fee Brex Cash account. Not only can you earn 110,000 bonus points (redeemable for 110,000 airline miles or $1,100), but you can get an account that will prove incredibly valuable for your business.
Here are some previous posts I’ve written about various aspects of Brex Cash:
- Exclusive: 80K Points With Brex Business Cash Account
- My Experience Opening A Brex Cash Account (Easiest 110K Points I Ever Earned)

In this post I wanted to look at the additional perks as part of a Brex Cash account that could save your business a significant amount of money.
In this post:
Brex partner offers can offer huge savings
In addition to the amazing bonus for new members, all of the no-fee account management options, and the ability to earn up to 8x Brex points on purchases, Brex also has some fantastic partner offers.
Think of this as being along the lines of Amex Offers and Chase Offers, where you can save money with dozens of businesses that could be useful for your small business.
As Brex describes it, these exclusive benefits and discounts on services can help you grow your company, and the offers are worth over $150,000 in value. Now, it goes without saying that no business is likely to actually save that much, but rather that this is the total maximum theoretical value of these offers.
I’ll break down each of the partner offers below, though a few things to note upfront:
- To access these, log into your Brex dashboard, and click on “Rewards” and then “Marketplace”
- When you click on each offer there will be instructions for how exactly they can be used; in some cases you have to make purchases through a specific link, in some cases you have to send an email, and in other cases you have to use your Brex Card
Here are the current Brex partner offers, broken down by category:

Bottom line
There are lots of great reasons to open a no-fee Brex Cash account. The obvious features are that you get a phenomenal business management account with a bonus of up to 110K points.
But for many businesses the most value will come from Brex partner offers, given the potential savings we’re talking about. For example, the Amazon Web Services feature is something that a lot of businesses would benefit from, and which could save thousands of dollars in one swoop.
If anyone is curious about the detailed terms of any of the above offers, let me know and I’m happy to share them below.
If you have a Brex account, will you be able to take advantage of any of the Brex partner offers?
They got back to me within a day and asked me for a re-send on my passport and to set up 2 factor verification. I assume I am done since I received a welcome email and a promise to send a physical card in6 days or so. Thanks, this will be helpful with International wires (Chase charges a fortune) not to mention the miles.
@tiffany ok, sent. Thanks
@Tiffany Yes. Where should I send it?
@ Jon -- It's just my name, @ this website :)
I applied with a legitimate LLC, in business for 15 years, a week ago. Still shows as ‘processing information’. Not that I care much either way but they are a little slow. Maybe just overwhelmed by sudden spike in applications?
Applied a week ago and no response so far? Why it’s taking that long to get a decision?!
@ SamOH @ FE -- Because Brex doesn't pull your personal credit, they use other business records to process approvals. If your business doesn't have a large "presence" for the automated system to evaluate, it will be reviewed manually, which does take a little longer. They are getting a ton of applications from this, and assure us they are trying to get through them as quickly as possible.
@ Ben -- Applied 42 hours ago. Crickets. I expect we won't be approved since we are a tech company. Whatever...
Just got instantly approved. Process was easy and took just a minute. I capped everything so hopefully the 80K bonus will post as advertised. Thanks Ben!
I just got approved for Brex Cash. Do I link my bank account to Brex? Will they send the virtual card number? Will it accrue 2.9% credit card charge? I am trying to avoid the CC charge while paying college tuition. Thank you!
@ Agnes -- Good questions! You can link your bank account or otherwise transfer funds in. There's a button in your account to activate/create your virtual card. Yes, the Brex Rewards card is a Mastercard, and would be treated as a credit card when you use it.
How long do new cardmembers have to meet the first $1,000 in spend for the 80,000 points?
@ ABS -- I would do it in the first 3 months, so that it stacks with the additional 10k points you can get for spending $3k.
It took me 10 days to get a reply and then they refused the app because it wasn't a business they supported. (real estate brokerage, incorporated).
@ Jon -- If your company is properly formed (e.g., not a Sole Prop), and not in a restricted industry (e.g. gambling, weed, etc.), then do you mind forwarding that email to me and I’ll escalate it to Brex? We should at least be able to get you an explanation (and ideally a fix) because that doesn't sound correct.
My partner applied 5 days ago and we've heard nothing. It's a legitimate LLC incorporated several years ago, so not sure what the problem is but I wonder if they have been inundated because of the OMAAT promo and they are looking for reasons to deny? Weird. They say it can take up to 7 business days, so we'll see but I sort of thought we'd sail through. We usually do on business applications. We used a personal email so that may be the problem.
I'm based in Ireland, I guess I cannot apply ? wish I could though
@ felim -- If you own/control a US Company, then your location/nationality does not matter. The Company has to be US-based (and registered) though.
Is there any issue with applying if my LLC is new? (within the last month) Thanks!
@ Bob Sanchez -- Nope, that shouldn't be an issue based on data points we've seen. There's certainly no downside to applying and trying, at least. Please report back on your experience if you don't mind, because data points are always helpful.
I applied about 10 hours ago and am awaiting approval.
