Congrats

I have the gold AMEX but this card is great.
I say if you can pay it in one shot and avoid getting into debt this card is good.
What is hard is to buy something of $800 for example then pay it full the next month its almost like buying with a debit card.
overall its just good to have especially in a emergency.
Good luck,
Alex

Advantages Of A Charge Card?
on 2008-03-18
I'm just wondering, what are the advantages of having a charge card?
they don't report to the credit bureau... Right?
and you have to pay the whole balance in full in less than <30 days..
and there's a memebership fee!
please enlighten me on this one.
i recently turned down a gold Preferred AMEX charge card because of the fee

A Few Reasons.
on 2008-03-18
Having an AMEX on your credit file looks favorable to banks. It shows them that you can handle "paying in full" each month and that you have $$$ to do so.
In your credit mix you are encouraged to atleast have some kind of charge card whether it be AMEX or DINERS.
I personally got my eye on the AMEX One card.

The only reason why I have an AMEX card is to get the Bank of America AMEX card. BofA is my favorite bank and I love doing business with them.

Credit Score
on 2008-03-23
If you don't mind me asking what credit report they pulled and what ballpark range was your credit score?
Thanks!
