Rates a line can earn on a card that rewards it, inside yearly caps, est. The codes on a statement decide.
What most cleaning companies never hear
about their codes.
Every purchase carries a merchant code, and the code decides what a card pays for it.
Same chemicals, three codes
A chemical distributor typically codes as 5169, an industrial supply house as 5085 and a warehouse club as 5300. Where you buy decides the category.
Uniforms are their own category
Uniform suppliers typically code as 5137, separate from your supply runs.
Subbing out carpet work
A carpet and upholstery firm you sub to typically codes as 7217, not as janitorial (7349).

Where your money
actually lands.
Your vendors usually run your card under one of these codes.

Crew fuel and vehicles belong on a bonus card.
Amex Business Gold can earn up to 4x on it in the card's top two categories each month, inside a $150K yearly cap. The desk tracks the cap and moves the next dollar before it fills.
Points into Cancún for two.
The desk maps the programs, checks taxes and fees, and gives the trip a pace. It books only after you approve.
Friday counts it, in dollars.
What the desk found that week, checked against your statement. Crew payroll stays off the card when a bill-pay fee would cost more than the points are worth.
How janitorial and chemical supply codes.
One short lesson a week from your own data: why the same purchase can code differently at two vendors, and what it means for you.
One question.
The whole desk works it.
Rosa asks in the thread. First Officer checks it against her spend and the latest rules, and hands back one answer.
