American Express - Credit Cards

I currently have the Delta Skymiles card which I find has no real value for me. I also pay $85 annually Chat Icon and they refuse to work with me on that even though I pay my balances in full every month and have been with them for years. So...before my next annual fee is billed I want to cancel the card and get a no fee AMEX.

Any suggestions? I see the Blue Cash might be good - anyone have that? How does it work?

Re: American Express - Credit Cards

I have 3 AmEx cards, a business, a gold rewards card and a cash blue. I started with the gold rewards first and loved the flexibility of no credit limit but I hate the annual fee. So last year i applied for the blue cash. I love it so far. No annual fee, fair credit limit and i really like getting the cash back. You only get it once/year though as a credit on your statement. If you charge more than $6500/year, you can really earn a lot back. I use the card for all my everyday purchases like gas and groceries and the cash back really adds up!

We have the Amex Card w/Costco. We love it because we get 1.5% back at the end of the year in the form of a Costco rebate check. We use the card for EVERYTHING and this year got $900 back. What's even nicer is that when you use the rebate check in Costco, and you don't use the entire amount of the check, you get the cash back in CASH!

Thanks everyone! I should have cancelled my current card a long time ago - there are so many better options out there.
