American Express Red

I have just received my American Express Red credit card. It was all speedy and straightforward. It arrived quickly, and the PIN was easy to change at my neighbourhood ATM.

There aren't many credit cards I would recommend in this world, however I feel that I should try and make a case for the newly released American Express Red Credit Card.

Here's a few reasons to give it a try:

- Help Africa: For every £1 spent on the card, American Express will donate 1.25% to good causes in Africa. The funds go towards programs helping women & children with HIV & Aids.

- 12.9% APR - pretty competitive.

- 5.9% Balance Transfers.

- No Annual Fee.

Obviously the best reason to sign up is to help charity, but there is also a great sense of security when getting an American Express card - they do offer good products as the other reviews on this site will testify.

I really hope the American Express Red takes off and helps those in need because it's nice to see a finanical institution doing something remotely ethical - a rare thing in this day and age.
