Bottom Line

What is unique about this card is the balance transfer offer. You can benefit from an intro [card.913.balanceTransferIntroRate] on balance transfers with a [card.913.balanceTransferFee] Transfers must be requested within 60 days of account opening. This can save you the typical 3% fee that most cards charge on balance transfers. Once the intro period ends, a [card.913.purchaseGoToRate] APR applies.

There is also an intro [card.913.balanceTransferIntroRate] on purchases (after, [card.913.purchaseGoToRate] APR), allowing you to make a large purchase and pay it off during the intro period. This intro period, combined with the balance transfer intro period and rewards program make The Amex EveryDay® Credit Card from American Express a unique offering where cardholders have the option to transfer a balance, pay off a large purchase, and earn rewards on new purchases — all with one card.

American Express products are best for people with good or excellent credit.

Intro BT fee: This card offers a [card.913.balanceTransferFee] Transfers must be requested within 60 days of account opening. Completing a transfer is a great way to save on the typical 3% BT fee most cards charge.

20% More points: When you make 20 or more transactions in a billing period, you earn 20% more points on those purchases. This effectively increases the value of 1 point to 1.2 points.

Low everyday rewards rate: Purchases in categories other than U.S. supermarkets or in excess of the quarterly cap will earn a low rewards rate that can be beat by other cards. We consider 2 points per dollar spent to be the average, so anything below that is subpar.

Membership Rewards® points can be redeemed in many ways. For each option, point’s worth varies, so some redemption options may be better than others. Here are the ways you can redeem your rewards and how much one point is worth for each option:
