No other
credit card offers the prestige that has come
to be associated with the
American Express card. What began in 1850 as a
nation-wide freight forwarding company soon
evolved into a company that created traveler’s
cheques and money orders which were sold to and
used by customers around the world. One hundred
and eight years after its establishment, American
Express issued its first charge card.
Today, American Express offers credit and
charge cards to businesses as well as to
individuals. When you go with a leader in the
financial products market, you have many options.
You can apply for a charge card but understand
that the balance on such a card is to be repaid in
full each month.
If you’re interested in an American Express charge
card, you can choose to become a Regular, Gold or
Platinum card holder. Each has its benefits and
the fees associated with each vary. The American
Express charge card is a popular option for those
who like the convenience of using plastic rather
than cash but who do not like to carry a balance.
If you are looking for a credit card, where credit
is extended and the balance does not need to be
repaid in full each month, American Express offers
a number of credit options. If you are looking for
a card with rewards, then look at the American
Express Partner Cards. Several
credit cards are available under this category
and each offers different airline, dining,
entertainment, travel and shopping
rewards programs.
If special offers aren’t important and you just
want an American Express card that extends credit,
look at the Blue options. Under this category
you’ll find credit cards that offer
cash back rewards on purchases, cards that are
designed specifically for students, and more.
And that’s not all! The company still offers money
orders and traveler’s cheques; the two financial
products that helped start it all. American
Express is also a big player in the gift card
business so when you don’t know what to get that
special someone and you don’t want to give cash,
you can pre-purchase an American Express Gift Card
or Dining Card to give instead. These two cards
can be used at any establishment that accepts
American Express.
