best cashback card

5
one of the few remaining cash back cards on the market, Reviewed on: 11th February 2017

Good reward card

4
Useful way to gain extra nectar points. Only downside being that no everywhere takes AMEX Reviewed on: 10th February 2017

Excellent credit card company

5
A very easy credit card, and a fantastic online service that allows you to manage your card completely online, even to view your pin if necessary. The annual statements are also very useful. Reviewed on: 4th February 2017

Great service, great perks - fly first class for less

5
I took up a BA Amex card two years ago, and the service is great. The app makes paying the bill so easy. The customer service call team are always helpful, efficient and go out of their way to help. For example, I called from New York to say I'll be abroad and I'd like to use my card - the agent asked if I had any further travel, and on the same call updated my card for the next three foreign trips. I used my companion voucher and we flew first class with BA to Barbados for less than £500 return. Now that's a perk of spending on a credit card Reviewed on: 1st February 2017

Great benefits - but expensive card fee

4
I have an airmails card with AMEX - and the annual fee is quite high - but I do renew each year because the miles and benefits are worth it. I always have good experiences when I contact the company and you do get the feeling they are going the extra mile Reviewed on: 21st January 2017

Signed up with Amex AviosCredit Card to use with Costco

5
I have used Amex Credit Cards sparingly in the past, such as the Nectar Card when I shopped more for the points. They work well with promotions like these, but the only problem experienced is a lot of the smaller traders still do not accept them due to the excessive charges. However the rewards have added up nicely and use where ever accept them! The Family and I are hoping to use the saved Avios Points towards our dream Holiday in Brazil. We have about half the flight already paid for! Well worth using for the great rewards programs. Reviewed on: 4th January 2017

Best credit card offer

3
The American express credit card very good for purchases. Reviewed on: 26th December 2016

Friend with benefits

4
Amex platinum cashback credit card means you can save while you spend and the added bonus are the many offers tailored to your account to save on a wide range of products and services. Reviewed on: 24th December 2016

superb for nectar points

5
What is there not to like about the American Express Nectar credit card? Free for first 12 months. Get double nectar points with this credit card and points also with nectar card. Watch out for special sign up bonus (events at different times of year)-I signed up in October 2016 and just for spending over £2000 in 3 months will receive £200 nectar points free!!! Only slight negative is card not accepted every where-KFC/Burger king will not accept Reviewed on: 24th December 2016
