What's so great about AMEX Blue?

[mithrandir2001]

It seems like a lot of people use Blue. I never had an AMEX card because I don't want to pay their $55 annual fee when I can get a Visa/MC for free. But you all aren't stupid. Why should I get an AMEX Blue card like the rest of you?

 

[DarkManX]

theres no anual fee on it.

 

[jahawkin]

i'm pretty sure blue doesn't have an annual fee. I hope not, cause i just got mine in the mail today..people like it because of its low APR, and price-matching features..

 

[Shmorq]

The 60 day price matching is the main reason why I have it.

 

[tontod]

What does the price matching feature involve?

 

[erub]

it involves you calling them up and telling them that the product u bought within the last 60 days dropped in price. I dont even know if you hafta prove it. They give you up to $1000/year in refunds this way.

 

[erub]

don't forget that the card looks badass

they also give u a free internet protection reader thingy, not sure what good it is though, since i never really worried about getting frauded (bank always covers you if its more than $50)

 

[tontod]

Nice, so it would work great for computer parts.

Another thing is their interest rates are low. 0% intro and 9.99% fixed after that. Plus no annual fee.

 

[Murpheeee]

Yeah the pricematching is great for computer parts.
They also do 6 months at 0% APR on new purchases when you sign up, even after that it only goes up to 11%

They also have an Online Fraud Protection Guarantee
Use the card online, and you won't be responsible for any unauthorized charges. Period.

I dont have no annual fee on it...and that little chip in the middle looks hella leet

 

[Shantanu]

Most people, like me, just get it because it looks cool. That whole smart card/smart chip stuff I've never even used. It comes with a free card reader too; never took that thing out of the box. Just a regular card for most of us.



<< you have to make 20k/yr to qualify >>



Hell no. I worrked at Kroger last year when I was 17, and made about $900 that summer. I got the card right after I turned 18, and they gave me a $2000 credit limit.

 

[DarkManX]

where does the money come from that gives us the pricematches?

 

[Looney]

Don't you get free AMEX ISP connection as well?
