American Express cardholders quick question?

[YouGotThese]

So i've been pre-approved for a AMEX card(s).

 

   and this one  

Anybody know the benefits of either cards versus the other and anyone have any tips for a new AMEX card member?

I have the one on the right (costco)

-extended warranty

theres more but Im not a pro.... school?

i believe the blue cash has no annual fee. the other might have?

^^Thanks fellas.

I think i might go with "BLUE", it may not have the perks/rewards benefits as the Teal or Gold but it fits my spending habits better.


But if anyone has either one let me know some benefits/perks of either one of the cards.

Thanks.

I have a Blue Card Preferred; it's awesome with cash back or rewards...6% at grocery stores, 3% at gas and dept stores and 1% everywhere else

I use it for EVERYTHING and just pay it off each month; never charged interest...if you are smart with money a card like this will really pay off

I have the Costco AMEX, it works for me.

The "green" AMEX card are for those that are disciplined and spend within their means, there is no APR because you have to pay if off at the end of the month.

Always rent my cars with AMEX, pay for gas, and travel with it.  It's my "just in case/emergency" card.

One's a Credit card the other is a Charge card.
Go with the Blue. No point in getting a charge card unless you get this

I have the Premium Rewards Gold. If you spend enough that your point accumulation yields rewards of greater value than the annual fee, you come out ahead. I get double points on gas and drive a truck so it works well. I pretty much use it for everything where it's accepted (which is virtually everywhere except for some small businesses).
