TikTok ad spend has scaled faster than any platform in history. The good news for media buyers: every business card that rewards 'online advertising' or 'social media advertising' categories covers TikTok the same way it covers Meta. The card choices mirror our Facebook ads ranking.

Amex Business Gold — 4x on advertising
Same as Meta: 4x Membership Rewards on the top two categories where you spend most each month, including US online advertising. TikTok charges qualify. Cap: $150K/year of combined category spend.
Chase Ink Business Preferred — 3x on social media ads
Ink Preferred's category explicitly covers 'advertising purchases on social media sites and search engines.' TikTok is a social media site. 3x on first $150K/year. The most popular pick for sub-$10K/month TikTok buyers.
Capital One Venture X Business — 2x flat
Uncapped 2x miles on every purchase. For TikTok spend above category caps on Gold and Ink, Venture X is the natural overflow.
When TikTok-specific factors matter
TikTok bills more frequently than Meta (daily for some accounts), which means more, smaller charges. Useful for Amex charge card spending power — small consistent charges build trust faster than rare large ones. For Amex Business Platinum (1.5x on $5K+ single charges), pool your TikTok spend into larger weekly or monthly deposits to qualify.
Takeaway
Same answer as Meta: Amex Business Gold below $150K/year on ads, Chase Ink Preferred as the entry card. TikTok doesn't change the math.
