While perhaps best known for its charge cards, American Express also as an award winning line of credit cards called American Express Blue. There are three cards offered: Blue, Blue Cash, and Blue Sky. Each card is designed with different rewards, depending on what you want from your credit card. Will review each, with links to the official americanexpress.com website that has more information on each card and an online application. To begin, here is a quick comparison of the cards:

Blue from American Express®

Blue from American Express is a points card that offers 0% APR for 6 months with no annual fee. Cardholders earn points virtually every time they use the card, and 2X points when the card is used to shop online at the American Express Bonus Points Mall®. And Amex awards 3X points when you shop with select online retailers like Apple, Barnes & Noble at the Bonus Points Mail®. Once earned, points can be used to buy merchandise or to pay for travel with no blackout dates.

American Express Blue Sky

Blue Sky is a travel rewards credit card especially designed for frequent flyers. The card awards 1 point for virtually every $1 spent. The key benefit of this card, however, is in its redemption rewards. Blue Sky points are worth 33% more than many other points programs. With Blue Sky, it takes just 7,500 points to earn a $100 statement credit for any travel purchase. As with the Blue card, Blue Sky offers 0% APR for 6 months and has no annual fee.

American Express Blue Cash

Amex Blue Cash is one of the few 5% cash back cards. Here’s how it works. For each 12 billing cycle period, purchases up to a total of $6,500 earn 1.0% if they are for groceries, drug stores, or gas, and 0.5% on everything else. Once you’ve spent a total of $6,500 on the card, the cash back rewards jump to 5% for groceries, drug stores, and gas, and 1.25% on everything else. the card also offers 0% APR for 6 months with no annual fee.
