Since 2007, I’ve carried my American Express with me everywhere. I’m a true poster boy for the old Amex slogan “Don’t leave home without it.” My Amex portfolio has evolve over the years but the one card that has always been tried and true was my American Express Green card. Most of my life had been expensed through that card at some point up to recently years when I added The Platinum Card to my wallet.
While some days I still miss my old financial partner, the American Express Green Card, this card, with a much more expensive annual fee, has become my daily card for everything. Learn the card’s benefits and it will pay for itself many times over. My first year, I offset the annual fee by nearly $1500.00.
Nothing compares to American Expresses customer service, the support and perks one gets, and the peace of mind knowing that finances and purchases are covered by purchase protection, trip delay insurance, cell phone insurance, return protection, a slew of credits, and great points, especially for travel.
Starting my finance series, The Platinum Card by American Express if my first and foremost recommendation. There are other options from American Express, and other companies, but I truly don’t leave home without it.
