amex is one of the harder cards to get approved on.
It doesnt matter what card you get, all unsecured credit cards are just credit card and thats it.
If you wanna feel special about pullin out a credit card or want one that looks coo, go for the amex clear card, or the best bang for your buck as far as rewards and what not is a citi, diamond prefered rewards card.
Your apr will probably be variable because the economy is shitty. Citi runs those amex card as well as their own. the diamon prefered card is a rectangular prisim. pretty dope for a credit card.
This is where it gets real though. Do you know on average every american has around 8 g's in debt. MOst of the time, probably more than half of those debts started with just one credit card, then two so on so forth.
My recomendation to you is to not get a credit card. IT WILL be the biggest mistake you ever made if you fuck up even one time.
But one being better than the other is nothing true. It sounds to me like you wanna look coo with a dope card, your payin on credit because you dont have the cash, maybe. If you have the cash, then get a citi card so you can pay the bill with the cash and get alot of points. That can work out if you make decent money and dont fall to far behind.
Not worth it though in the end..
Good luck though.
