Amex charges 2 much to have their fucking cards....
 

Just saw the annual fee for em today... motherfuckers:mad:

I dont fuck with cards with fee's

Cash Money Millionaire Biaaaaaaaaaaatch

i am poor :(

It's like what, $80 a year or so? $50?

It's not really a "credit card" though, it's a charge card. I wouldnt use a credit card with a fee, but amex is ok. So long as you pay it every month in full.

300 for first card 150 per additional for the platinum cards yeah the good thing is you really dont carry a balance on it

I hope you're at least getting airmiles

yeah membership rewards they call it, you can use em on a bunch of shit

For every additional blackcard, its 2500

Ah I see, the better ones are 'spensive lucy.

Whats the point of a AMEX, just get a regular cc with no fee and just pay it off every month

K send me the Black Pls :Graucho

I won't carry a card with a fee, period

its a pussy magnet

one day i want one of those!!! hopefully in the next few years

it gives access to a bunch of shit like airport clubs , upgrade on starwoods , and i havent read the fine print but if you purchase a 1st class ticket international they give you a accompanying ticket for free .... i have to read the details on this

You also have a 24/7 concierge on standby , like you can call him up and say "yo i am in miami and i need to get dinner reservations or yo i need to send some flowers to my chick " crap like that

Translation - hey everyone, I'm wealthy enough to have an American Express card and I wanted you to know it but in a 'subtle' way.

What's so special about amex? They're poorly accepted compared to other cards, expensive, etc...

we went to dinner on rewards points Fri night ; )

Amex has to be one of the easiest cards to get.

Amex has the best rewards points too. They don't expire. Other cards usually expire in 5 years or so.

So if you run your business with an Amex card and rack in millions of points over the years that creates a nice retirement/vacation plan.

I wish Amex would issue a USD card to non-residents, they only offer CDN currency cards up here.

I dumped my Amex years ago. It used to be more of an established elite card. Not anymore with all the other card programs out there.

juicy is :pimp with the amex :)

you have gotta be one of the most bitter trolls on here lately.....

Seems mommy and daddy didnt give you enough attention when you were growing up... Ill say a prayer for you

I only pay 100 for mine. I put everything on it and earn those miles baby

Yup :) the whole reason I have a Plat. AMEX, I get way more free in a year then their fee is.
Also its first class or business even :)
a business is usually only about double the cost of coach, and on a 10 hour flight business class is so much nicer.

Where the hell are you going that doesnt take amex? Its only really the mom and pop places that dont.

I can carry a USD and CDN ballance on mine. The USD has a different number so I just pay it online out of my US account. :)

You can? Is this offered on all Amex's cards issued here in Canada or just a particular one or two? Do you get a seperate card issued for the USD balance?
WG

I had called them about a USD card when I had the gold, and was told I need the plat to do it.
I got two cards, one USD and one CDN.
I should see if a USD will show up under the USD account if I use the CDN card.

In anycase I dont find it a problem at all. When I travel or order online I use the USD. The CDN I carry on me unless I travel.

It's a good thing, otherwise everyone would have one. lol

So only the platinum cards offer the USD balance? Can I just get a USD balance platinum card or do I have to get a CDN one as well? Same rewards/packages I assume?
WG

All the points and stuff tally up into one ballance. I would assume same rewards.
And not sure if you need a CDN and USD plat or if you can just get a USD plat. I didnt care much and only get billed like its one card.

Call AMEX :) they are usually pretty quick.
