I have the Blue by AMEX. Got in 2008 with no interest for 12 months. Used it for one trip paid it off and locked it in my drawer. They keep increasing my credit limit though but i aint touching the ish until some emergency comes sup. Only CC i use right now is the citi simplicty card. Their rewards are good but i don't racking up CC bills like that to ever get anything significant.

Like I said, run the numbers. A point with one card doesn't equal points with another. Some points go further.

For me, it didn't make sense to pay the fee, if it does for you, then go for it.
^^This...Also, When it comes to CC all of us have different spending habits. So there is no one card that will suit everyone.

Same answer that's been given a dozen times already in the thread. If the benefits outweigh the annual fee, then go for it.

My goal by next year is to have a Gold Card. Those SONY/Roc Nation checks better keep coming. :to: Shoutouts to anyone over 30 who can get one. Most people piss away their credit during the first 2 years of undergrad.

The nikka been saying he writing for sony for like 2 weeks now or was it he was gonna be on x-factor :heh:


Anyway im not big on cars but im so happy my credit was good enough to buy my moms one.

I'm into clothes and all that shyt cars aint never been a big deal to me cause when i get what i want i know its gonna be super expensive (audi A8).

I got a older luxury car now but i paid cash for it.

You need credit yall just pace yourself and dont spend what you cant afford.

yeah you know i got a personal AMEX Centurion card, commonly referred to by you broke nikkas as the "Black card".
the perks is cool and all, but i feel like they shoulda gave me a exotical dime for a chaffeur and not this old senile ass white man they got drivin me around.

also, the card is very heavy and take up a lot of space in my Hermès © wallet, so you may want to take that into consideration
