American Express credit card

[fingers]

Right you are, I stand corrected. I'd only used their rewards charge cards and didn't realize they offered credit.

Hi all,
I believe Amex Bank have two plastic card products:

1) Amex Charge Charge (you are assigned an initial spending limit and this limit goes on
increasing with the passage of time upon good credit history
etc/ BUT it has no revolving credit and the balance has to be
paid in full each month)


2) Amex Credit Card (just like Visa & Master / it has revolving credit etc)

(This is to the best of my knowledge, correct me if i have made a mistake)

Yes, you are correct. Here is a short description of what a AMEX charge card is:

The places I know accept AmEx are Costco, Shell and A&P grocery stores (Dominion, Metro, Foodland) because those companies are part of the Air Miles program (AmEx issues an Air Miles card). Some high-end stores also accept AmEx because of their clientele. In the US, it's much more widely accepted.
