Twenty lucky business owners will have their business card balances paid off at the start of 2000. American Express announced the Corporate Optima Card Millennium Sweepstakes this week that will wipe out outstanding card balances, up to $20,000, of twenty business owners. Cardholders with an American Express small business credit card, including the American Express Corporate Optima Card and Delta Skymiles Card are automatically entered into the contest. For more information and rules for non-cardholders, entrepreneurs can visit the American Express Small Business Exchange website, at www.americanexpress.com/small business
