What are the Key Benefits of the American Express Personal Card?

My experience with card security has not been a pleasant one in the past as my card got compromised at a point, so I wonder if the American Express Personal Card provides World-class security Services?

    From my personal experience you can enjoy peace of mind from your travels and shopping as protection is included with your Card to offers you repairs, replacement or reimbursement on eligible purchases made with your Card, which has either been damaged or stolen within 90 days of purchase. With coverages up to S$8,000 per item and up to a maximum of S$80,000 per calendar year per Card Member Account. And in the case of unexpected happenings when you travel overseas, you can receive immediate advice with the cards 24/7 global helpline, free referrals to an English-speaking doctor, lawyer or relevant professional, and assistance on passport replacement, missing luggage and more. You also get to receive free accidental death and dismemberment insurance while travelling on a public conveyance for up to S$200,000. This is exclusively eligible for Card Member, there spouse and dependent children under 23 years old.

In my opinion, this card is one of the best cards in the market especially as there are no expiry date to miles earned and an amazing 2 VIP airport lounge access. I love the fact that the card can be used for major big ticket items and to clock mileage. Redemption can be done easily without hassle and customer service staff are very helpful

Fee waivers and No transfe fees

The AMEX Express Singapore Airlines Solitaire PPS Credit Card gives a First Year Fee Waiver for you to enjoy and also for your supplementary card members. In addition there are no transfer fees and all the KrisFlyer miles you can earn are directly transferred automatically to your KrisFlyer account with no transfer fee. I would recommend this card for these few reasons which could really make the difference.

Too bad it is not an unlimited cashback card

Unfortunately, the HSBC advance card is not an unlimited cashback card as they have a cap on the cashback per month, even for advance banking clients. Furthermore, if you are not an advance banking client, you would not get subsequent card fee waiver if you do not get to spend at least $12,000 in a year.
