Blue Sky from American Express®
Blue Sky from American Express is geared towards frequent travelers. It offers unlimited travel choices and no travel restrictions. It's a great card for those with good credit who want to take advantage of the substantial travel benefits.
For every dollar spent with the card, cardholders earn one point towards airlines, hotels, car rentals and cruises. There are no blackout dates or restrictions. You can earn unlimited miles and points, and there is no expiration date on either. The points program (as well as the full rewards program, discussed in the following paragraph) is fee-free.
Blue Sky from American Express also offers a benefits package that includes travel accident insurance, car rental loss and damage insurance, emergency card replacement, a global assist hotline, and even an assured reservation service. This last benefit ensures that even if you show up at your hotel late, your room will be ready and waiting for you. Should your room be unavailable, the hotel will provide you with a comparable room nearby, transportation to your new room, and a three-minute phone call.
Blue Sky offers a 0% introductory rate for purchases, which goes up to a competitive rate after six months. Cardholders can also take advantage of a low 4.99% rate on balance transfers for the first six months. This rate lasts until the loan is paid off. The catch is that you must request a balance transfer when applying for the card.
Any additional cards are fee-free, so nearly all benefits of the card can be shared with your family members. You can also take advantage of the substantial package of shopping benefits offered by American Express, including purchase protection, extended warranties, and fraud protection.
Blue Sky from American Express is ideal for the traveling man or woman who can afford to pay balances in full every month. Review Date: 9/4/2006
