Good Points

Customer Service, No fee, Low APR, Rewards Program (Although their points system isn't exactly great), frequent credit line increases without asking. Opt for the cash back version if you apply.


Bad Points

Some cards have more attractive features, but it doesn't hurt owning this one. Just don't have more than 3-4 active cards at a time and you'll be fine. Get a cash back card, rewards card, miles card, and a good balance transfer or cash advance card if that applies to you. APR shouldn't matter if you pay in full, unless you are planning on moving funds around.


General Comments

If you are good with credit cards i.e. you pay in full every month and don't abuse transfers/advances, then blue is a good card to have. Anyone who gets a credit card with the ideal of using it because they need the money shouldn't have a credit card; instead you should get a loan with your loyal bank. I am 23 and I have a $20,000 credit line making only $36,000 a year with a next to perfect credit score. American Express helped me to get this.
