Board 8 > Does anyone here use American Express?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I get their offers from time to time but I just can't understand why anyone would use a card that isn't accepted as often as other cards and comes with a high annual fee. I mean, unless it's just a prestige thing. Is it?

The cash rewards are barely as good as my Discover card, which I find much more preferable. AMEX just seems like a racket to me.

If anyone here does use one of their cards, why? How is it worth it to you?

Ok everyone this is Bartz so just remember.

I've used one for years because it was the only credit card I could get without an annual fee. I can probably cancel it and get a different one now, but eh too lazy, and I have a Visa debit I can use whenever a place doesn't accept AMEX.

I didn't know that they offered any AMEX cards without an annual fee.

They do, my dad has one.
Dunno what he uses it for, though.

My dad has one. He keeps getting told that whatever the place is he's at doesn't accept American Express, and he keeps insisting on using it.
