There's seldom, if ever, any advantage to paying a yearly fee. * I've never heard that Amex builds your credit any faster, but I have been annoyed on a few occasions when finding out at checkout time that Amex isn't taken at a particular store.
I have one, don't pay a yearly fee (or I WOULDN'T have one!), and other then the fact that it's not taken in as many places, don't see any advantages or disadvantages to it over my other cards. * That being said, my Father-in-Law once opened an Amex account, and paid the $75 yearly fee, because they were running a promotion in conjunction with an airline - 10% off if you opened an Amex account. He was purchasing 2 tickets to Switzerland, and with the promotion, saved $400. Well worth the fee, and he closed the account before a year had passed. This is an exception, though. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
