I looked at the page: https://brex.com/legal/prohibited_activities/ I am curious about the language that you have used - in particular the use of word "marijuana". What is the reason to use such derogatory, offensive and deeply racist term for cannabis? I thought that in 2018 tech companies wouldn't be using language of the 70s that has been used to promote hatred towards the users of this plant.

This was a great write up. Also I hope I get a chance to use and love the product. I'm a founder who lives outside the US and has a US company and bank account via Stripe Atlas. Just signed up and got to the "Information Requests" branch of the flow. Entered my passport, birthdate in fine. But when it came to "Enter the person's address", there were only options for US addresses. I'm living outside the US so I hesita…
Pedro from Brex here :) Thanks for the feedback, super helpful! 1. We will make sure to support international addresses for the individuals, thanks! 2. On the submit button, did you sign-up from mobile/tablet by any chance?
Love the clean sign up and landing page without endless jargon. Good job! It would be great if you could clarify what the rewards actually are (especially since they are highlighted quite a bit). eg: Are the rewards on AWS double/triple points on your spend? Or do Brex members received some amount of free compute credit?

If you signup for Brex and make Brex your primary card you get $5k AWS credits + 105$ on Instacart and Doordash.
I'm a founder searching for a corporate credit card, so naturally I'm comparing benefits with other cards.
The rewards page boasts "Brex gives you valuable rewards equivalent to 500,000+ points on competitor card programs.", but gives no specific information about these rewards without signing up. This felt deceptive / scammy to me, and I instinctively closed the page.
Later I found the rewards FAQ question, but the statement "Like our cards, our rewards are different. They offer valuable savings to companies on the products they use most, like software, servers and advertising. These rewards help build the company, rather than competitor rewards programs that offer consumer-oriented benefits for individuals." again was too vague to know whether it was worth signing up to learn more.
Just my anecdote, but I would suggest offering more details on the reward program pre-signup.

Although we're building a new rewards program that will launch later this year, would love to hear your thoughts on what a great rewards program looks like for you.
And thnaks on the feedback on the clarity around the rewards - will improve!

Today with Brex if you signup and have Brex be your primary card you get: $5k of AWS, $105 in Doordash and $105 on Instacart.

$5k of AWS is indeed incredible; can you share how you are able to offer such a generous benefit?
1. Tell me what the rewards are. Right now I get credit card reward points worth ~1.5% of my monthly spending; I'm not going to switch cards based on "we have fantastic rewards, trust us!"
2. Find a way to integrate with Stripe! They've already done all the AML/KYC stuff, and they also have plenty of information about my revenue. For that matter, why have money bounce via a bank account -- find a way for me to have the money I receive via Stripe pay off the Brex card first.
3. Seconding the request to support people outside of the USA. My company does its banking via a US bank account but both I and my company are based in Canada.
