Blue Cash® from American Express® is designed for those with good or excellent credit who plan to take advantage of the cash back reward program offered by this card, which Kiplinger's Personal Finance* named as the "best cash-rebate card."
Cardholders get unlimited cash back savings on eligible purchases with the card. Through the rebate program, cardholders earn a cash award that varies according to the amount spent per year. General purchases earn up to a 1.5% rebate. "Everyday Purchases" made at drugstores, gas stations, and supermarkets earn up to a 5% rebate.
Aside from the cash rebates, this card provides common benefits and services commonly found with American Express® credit cards, such as the buyer's assurance plan, purchase protection plan, and up to $100,000 in travel accident insurance.
This card has no annual fee and a reasonable interest rate for purchases and balance transfers (for those who qualify), which makes it ideal for those who plan to occasionally carry a balance. The card has a 0% introductory rate for the first twelve months of membership that can be applied toward purchases. A 2.99% introductory rate is available on balance transfers for up to the first year (12 months) of membership. It is important to note that the balance transfer introductory rate only applies to those who initiate a transfer when applying for the card.
Therefore, those who plan to take advantage of the cash back reward program for "Everyday Purchases" (to earn the highest rebate) and the various standard services provided will benefit most from what Blue Cash® from American Express® has to offer.
