American Express

The American Express family of credit cards was founded upon the peerless customer service that made this one of the most admired companies in the world. For decades, their slogan of “Don’t leave home without it” was considered not so much advertising as good advice, because American Express truly meant it when they said they were there to help travelers.

In 1940, when the Nazi German army was storming toward Paris, the staff of the American Express office remained after the U.S. Embassy left, getting funds to their customers escaping the threatened city. This level of dedication found in the staff of American Express has continued to this day with locations all over the world giving a continuously high level of customer satisfaction.

Today, you can have access to this same customer service through the family of American Express credit cards. No longer reserved for business travelers, the original pay-the-balance-in-full-each-month Amex Green card has evolved into a line of revolving accounts that offers something for everyone. Other major benefits regarding the customer service provided by American Express is it’s availability to provide you with advice, answer queries about the services provided and deliver a highly satisfactory response to these issues in a timely and customer focused fashion that gives owners the peace of mind which is commonly misplaced in the current economic climate.

American Express also offers co-branded loyalty cards with rewards with airline partners Delta and JetBlue, hotel chains Hilton and Starwood, and retailer Costco. Plus, the original line of Green, Gold, and Platinum cards offers rewards programs with all the trimmings, as well as complimentary online money management tools that allow you to slice, dice, and sort your spending patterns to analyze that last detail.

All this, plus the legendary American Express customer service. What more could you possibly want?
