American Express RED

American Express is one of the world’s leading providers of credit cards. Associated with high quality, it confers prestige on its holders, indicating their purchasing power and high status. But if you carry a RED card in particular, it reveals much more about you than your income level. It’s a charity card; every time you shop with it, Amex will give 1% of your spend to the Global Fund, to help fight AIDS in Africa.

In the 2007 uSwitch Customer Satisfaction survey conducted by YouGov, American Express was ranked the credit card provider that most users would recommend to a friend.

FEATURES OF THE AMEX RED CREDIT CARD:

Apart from the donations to charity, cardholders can enjoy the advantage of earning ‘REDtreats’ if they spend enough on the card: these include spa vouchers, goodie bags and hampers. REDdeals are another benefit. These include offers from hotels, restaurants and shops.

HOW CAN I COMPARE THE AMERICAN EXPRESS RED CARD WITH OTHER UK CREDIT CARDS?

If you like the idea of having a card that gives something to charity, the American Express RED may well be the one for you. But there are other charity credit cards on the market, some of which may be donating to organisations closer to your heart. The uSwitch credit card comparison service searches through all kinds of cards to find those that best match your requirements
