What's the catch? They claim to give you free money just for spending money. What's in it for them? especially if you pay off the balance every month.

As I understand it, Amex charge the retailers the most for transactions placed through their cards.Originally posted by thunderlizard View PostWhat's the catch?

Yes, pay the £750 annual membership fee, and spend at least £100k on it a year and they lap you up.Originally posted by shelby68 View PostOnly Platinum? cheapskate, get a black card!"See, you think I give a tulip.

I worked with someone who has one he used to put all the server purchases for his business through it, soon got his 100k a year, pays dividends though he used to get treated like royalty at the airport.Some people are like slinkys, totally pointless but the thought of pushing them down a flight of stairs never fails to put a smile on your face.Comment

I got a Visa Business Gold card which gives me money back. I pay a yearly fee but if I spend more than €10,000 using it then I get money back. so far its paid for itself (might just be a German thing though as credit cards are slightly different here, more like debit cards.)“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
