Top 5 No-Annual-Fee Business Cards for Facebook Ads
Not every buyer wants to pay $375 a year for the privilege of earning more points. Five no-fee business cards earn enough on Meta to be worth carrying — especially as starter cards or supporting players in a larger stack.

1. Chase Ink Business Unlimited — 1.5x on everything
Zero annual fee. 1.5% (1.5 UR) on every purchase, no cap. Pair with an Ink Preferred to make the UR transferable at 2.2 cents = effective 3.3% return on Meta spend. The single most useful no-fee card in any stack.
2. Chase Ink Business Cash — 5x on office supplies and internet
Zero annual fee. 5x on the first $25K/year in office supplies, internet, cable, phone. Doesn't cover Meta directly, but covers everything around it. Stack with the other Inks for full coverage.
3. American Express Blue Business Plus — 2x on first $50K
Zero annual fee. 2x Membership Rewards on the first $50K/year of any purchase (including Meta). At 2 cents/point realized value, that's a 4% return on your first $50K — better than most paid cards.
4. Capital One Spark Cash Select — 1.5% flat cashback
Zero annual fee. 1.5% cashback on everything, no cap, no transferable-points complexity. The simplest no-fee option for buyers who don't want to learn redemption strategies.
5. US Bank Triple Cash Rewards — 3% on certain ad spend
Zero annual fee. 3% cashback on advertising in select media (TV, radio, online ads). Less famous than the Amex/Chase options but punches above its weight for buyers who specifically need cashback over points.
Takeaway
Ink Business Unlimited is the must-have no-fee card in any media-buyer wallet. Blue Business Plus is the best no-fee earner if your spend stays under $50K/year. Both belong in starter stacks.
