    Probably not worth it to get this card and exclude yourself from any Amex bonus point promotions for the next 18 months for just 12500 velocity points

      But this card is free fee for life. So its a free credit card with rewards points for life!!

        It's not Interest Free I'm guessing… So you'll be paying Interest on everything you buy until you pay it down.

          Like any credit card, if you pay the bill before the due date then you don't pay any interest. I don't see how people don't get this.

          If you can't afford to pay the bill at the end of the month, you should probably consider not having a credit card. Don't spend money you don't have.

          It's not about if you're rich or poor, it's about not racking up debt that you can't afford pay off.

          @frente69: ^^ditto

          I don't know anyone who chooses a particular credit card based on how low the interest rate is. You're better off getting a personal loan instead!

          @frente69:
          Is it like any card?
          I knw there are some cards that include an Interest Free Period, but not all to my knowledge. Happy to stand corrected though. I am no expert on this.

          FYI having followed the link this offer has up to 55 days interest free…

          @scubacoles: All credit cards have interest free days. I don't know any credit cards that charges interest straight after purchase?

        • mrtin on 05/03/2018 - 13:39

          @Homr:
          i do believe there cards with no interest free days(at least when i was at the bank) but cant remember which one… but yes most do have interest free days.

        Isn't this card always Without annual fee?

    • Mugsy on 05/03/2018 - 13:41

      Was my first thought.

      There are better no annual fee credit cards out there more widely accepted than amex and the 100k points deals from Amex velocity offers more points for my money.

      I'd gladly pay the $400 annual fee for the 87500 point difference, than to spend the $80k+ using this Amex card to get the same number of points.

  • sigma on 05/03/2018 - 11:36

    Can we use this card with all Amex cashback promos?

    • MrBr0 on 05/03/2018 - 12:44

      yes

    What's the Interest Rate?

    • Store Repfindercomau @ Finder on 05/03/2018 - 12:16

      D'oh - added that to the top, it's a purchase rate of 20.74% p.a.

      Thanks for the flag!

  • Gandalf the Thrifty on 05/03/2018 - 12:44

    So if we had bank issued Amex in last 18mths the offer applies?

    • nightelves on 05/03/2018 - 12:46

      Yes.

    • shake on 06/03/2018 - 01:03

      I have same question but would like the OP to answer this directly.

      OP - could you confirm please?

  • MitchyD1989 on 05/03/2018 - 13:19
