American Express offers a wide variety of credit cards: purchase and balance transfers cards, Cashback cards, Rewards/Points cards, Business cards, and Travel related offers.

The primary drawback to the American Express credit card is there are limited retail establishments that take the American Express card. Although this is improving, these acceptance is not what Visa and MasterCard are. With that said, if you do know your retailers, and can accept that fact that at times you will have to use either a Visa or MasterCard to cover the times that American Express is not accepted, the American Express credit card offer unparallel customer service, the best rewards program in the market, and all the whistles and bells of the top credit card companies in the UK. .

In summary the American Express family of credit cards are extremely competitive in the UK marketplace. But you need to take the time to understand the introductory offers, the rates associated with any transaction, and fee charged for using the card.

About American Express

The story of American Express is a fascinating one, filled with interesting and sometimes quirky characters who -- through a combination of brains, perseverance and luck -- shaped the company's development during the past century and a half.

The express company that forwarded freight and valuables evolved into a company that created and sold financial products like money orders and travelers cheques. Following an era of international expansion, the company became an entity perhaps best known for its charge card. Today, American Express is a global payments company.

The attributes that today are the hallmarks of the American Express brand -- trust, integrity, security, quality, customer service -- all have their roots in this compelling story. In this history, as well, are the genesis and development of the company's aspiration to become the world's most respected service brand.
