Higher Signup Bonus Offers for Amex Credit Cards
If you’re looking to apply for a credit card from American Express, see if you can find a better offer online. This method has been spotty lately, but in the last few hours, it seems many higher offers have become readily available. Simply open an incognito or private browsing window in your favorite browser, navigate to the americanexpress.com website (don’t log in), and click on “Personal Cards.” If you only see standard offers, close the window and try again. Usually within 2 or 3 tries, I see the better offers. These are only some of the offers I was able to see before writing this post: Give it a shot…

Best Credit Cards for Balance Transfers
Did you run up large credit card balances during the holidays this year? If you won’t have enough cash to pay them off in full, those interest charges are going to start adding up quickly. One way to save money is by transferring your balances to a credit card that has a lower interest rate (APR). Chase Freedom, Citi Double Cash, and American Express Blue Cash Everyday are popular credit cards that offer an introductory 0% APR for 15 months on balance transfers. Unfortunately, they all charge a 3% transfer fee. If you’re looking to consolidate $2,500 to one of these cards, the fee will cost you $75. Chase Slate is a…

Annual fees can top out at over $400 for some premium credit cards, but they can include access to airport lounges such as American Airlines, Delta, or United. These private lounges offer travelers free food, snacks, complimentary beverage service, comfortable seating, free WiFi, clean facilities, and other luxurious perks not available to the general public.
