Review
Blue from American Express® is an ideal credit card for those
with good credit who already have an established credit history and
are looking for a card with access to a reward
program.
Various American Express® services and
benefits are provided with this card, such as purchase protection,
auto rental insurance, a year-end financial statement, and various
travel and emergency assistance services.
Cardholders
also have access to Blue's Membership Rewards Express® program,
which offers members the chance to earn points that can be redeemed
for various services and products. The rewards program is by far
one of the best reward programs offered in the credit card
industry, due in part to the variety of rewards offered with no
yearly limit and no expiration policy for earned
points.
This card has no annual fee and a reasonably low
interest rate for purchases (for those who qualify), which makes it
ideal for those who plan to occasionally carry a balance. The card
has a 0% introductory rate for up to 12 months of membership that
can be applied towards purchases. A 2.99% introductory rate is
available on balance transfers for 12 months. It is important to
note that the balance transfer introductory rate only applies to
those who initiate a transfer when applying for the
card.
Therefore, those who qualify for the lowest rate
offered and plan to take advantage of the additional benefits and
discounts available by American Express®, especially frequent
travelers who can take advantage of the Membership Rewards
Express® program with earned points that can be combined with
various frequent flyer accounts, will benefit most from what the
Blue from American Express® card has to offer.
