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.

american express is my fav credit card, customer service is the best plus some stores only take american express

Bullshit. Your a fool. ANy merchant account a business opens comes with the ability to process visa and mastercard transactions. To be connected with discover or amex you have to pay more as a business.

I have never seen a store take american express only. That would be stupid for a business to do because 9 out of ten credit card holders DO NOT have an amex card.

And I back that up having done merchant account technical support for years.

Know what the fuck you are talking about first.

Next time you come outside and go shoppin, look on the front of every business's door and you will see what cards they take. Bet you dont find one with only amex.

There is no advantage to any specific card other than apr and credit card terms. Such as minimum dues and fee amounts.

Amex is not the best. It is for rich people who like to feel wealthy.

Get a citicard and you will be better off.

I'd start with a visa or mastercard first, alot of merchants don't like amex, because amex takes care of the customer and not the merchant. there are higher fees associated with the card for the merchants so some choose just not to carry it.


although it does feel good to pull out that platinum card like "bladow bitch!"

uhm neiman marcus you dumb ass

You are the biggest peice of shit this site has EVER encountered. Neiman accepts VISA and MC, dumbfuck. Acting like you have ANY reason to even shop at such a high-end store!

That's 2 days in a row that you've been caught in a STUPID lie. How old are you for christ's sake? So desperate for attention it's sad.

Go out of your way to find all the stores that do not take visa and mastercard. See which hand piles up first.


There are alot more stores that DO NOT take american express than ones that take just amex.
