Low Interest Credit Cards

Q: How can I earn the most cash back with my Blue Cash from American Express card? How much do I have to spend, and what should I buy in order to earn these rewards?

A: The Blue Cash credit card from American Express is just one of those offered by the company that provides cash back rewards. It is possible to earn as much as 5% cash back on purchases that you make every day; it doesn’t have to be just special or one-time purchases. Every day purchases include motor vehicle fuel, groceries, and items bought from drugstores.

This doesn’t mean you can’t earn cash back rewards on other purchases. They can get you as much as 1.25% cash back.

You’re not limited as to how many cash reward points you can earn. The more you spend, the more your cash back rewards will be.

If you want to earn cash back quicker, spend more than $6,500 on your Blue Cash card. This wi

Long known for its line of charge cards, American Express recently unveiled a new charge product targeted towards the younger generation. The Amex Zync is being pitched as a way to build your credit history without the danger of running up high interest charges, since it must be paid in full every month. As a charge card, any balances you carry on your Zync will not count towards your utilization ratios on either your FICO or Vantage Score.

The Zync does carry an annual fee, though at $25, it is much lower than its elder siblings. Purchases earn Membership Rewards points which can be redeemed for the usual assortment of travel, shopping, and entertainment rewards. In addition, there are four “Lifestyle Packs,” that can boost your benefits. For instance, the “Go” pack costs an additional $20/year and doubles the number of points your airfare purchases earn. The “So
