Starwood Preferred Guest® Credit Card from American Express

Important Rates:
The lowest available APR is variable, meaning that the rate can change as U.S. prime rates fluctuate. You can find out how to compute your APR in the programs terms and conditions. For example, you may be instructed to add 9.99% to the U.S. prime rate.

There is an intro annual fee of $0, and a high annual fee of $65.* This is the usual case for introductory offers, or first year fee-free cards.

Rewards:
This is a hotel rewards card, where you can expect rewards for certain hotel stays.

Credit Record Needed:
Based on the FICO score recommendation, applicants should have a great credit record. A FICO credit score of 697 is recommended for a higher chance of approval, but this is not required. There are a number of other factors that this issuer may also consider when making decisions for approval.

Other Basics:
The grace period listed for the Starwood Preferred Guest® Credit Card from American Express is at least 20 days*. So interest charges will not be applied for purchases during those days. Be aware that some issuers will begin charging interest on cash advances and balance transfers on the transaction date.

American Express acceptance among businesses is moderate, but global. You should not have a difficult time finding businesses that will accept this card as a form of payment.

Approval time for this offer is not listed. You could expect a possible instant decision, but you should expect a final credit decision within 1-2 weeks.
