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.

40,000 Membership Rewards points to refer a friends to the card

I like the idea that I can receive 40,000 Membership Rewards points when I get to successfully refer any of my friends to the card. Even more so as my friends can also receive 40,000 Membership Rewards points upon spend of S$5,000 in the first 3 months of their Card Membership. I think that is pretty much a win-win situation.

Ease of use to accumulate on miles

The American Express Krisflyer Credit Card has an attractive sign up bonus and it is easy to use to accumulate on miles as no conversion into KF account is required, and monthly auto “sweeping” of miles help save in the conversion fee. I also have had good experiences with their customer care service as the call center service is absolutely awesome.

Pleasant Rewards

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
