Good Points

1% Cashback on all the goods and services that you buy.

Bad Points

It's still not accepted everywhere. Foreign transactions are more expensive than using a (Nationwide) debit card.

General Comments

I think credit carda are fantastic money management tools. They allow you to maximise the interest that you earn on your hard earned money. The American Express Blue Credit Card also adds the bonus of Cashback.

This is like earning 1% interest on your spending so you can actually make money out Amex if you pay your bill in full every month (like I do). Suckers! That's probably why they sent me "invitations" first for the Gold charge card (£95 p.a. fee) and then for the Platinum (£275 p.a. fee). Er, I don't think so!

1% Cashback? That'll do nicely.
